If they don't use Flash and can live without Flash and Skype in particular (be sure to explain what exactly Flash is and what it's used for), then Trisquel might be just fine for them. My mom is OK with Trisquel, for example.

If they're not OK with losing Flash and Skype (or there's some other proprietary program they're not OK with losing), I suggest suggesting either Ubuntu GNOME (if simplicity is what they're really looking for) or Xubuntu (if they really mean "something like Windows XP").
