Just use your two mouse fingers and walk them around on the desktop as if they were legs. Then explain that this is your left leg and this is your right leg. When you kick the button with your left "leg", that's a left kick and with the "right" leg, it's a right kick. Since kick sounds like click, it should be easy to understand.
If that fails, take a marker and write L and R on the subject's fingers and L and R on the mouse buttons.
The way I figure it, if someone can't understand how to use a two button mouse, how are you going to explain something like file folders to them?
In my opinion, if someone you are teaching cannot understand how to use a two button mouse, ... run. Run like your life depended on it. Otherwise you will be sucked into a never-ending Q and A quagmire for the rest of your life! :)
