My brothers and I have attempted countless times to explain to our mother the difference between WiFi and mobile data, including that you should connect to WiFi to save data and that you don’t need a functioning SIM card with data to use the WiFi at the airport when arriving from overseas.
I love my mother but I am struggling to comprehend the incomprehension. If anyone has some kind of simple or fun metaphor or something that explains it, I would be forever grateful. Thank you.

Your house has water on tap, you pay very little for that water. You can also drink water from the tap at a friends house or from a drinking fountain at a business or mall.
You can also go to the store to buy bottled water which is way more expensive. You do this when you are out and about because you don’t have any other options.
If you want to save money you’ll use water from the tap whenever the hell you can.
Wifi is the water from your faucet, mobile data is the bottled water.
