Technology Meltdown
Come on, Andy, everybody knows that you should answer your mom after the third time she texts you your name in under 3 seconds. Why? Because she might be worried about you and she won’t stop until you answer. Then again, answering this, Mom doesn’t seem to be getting Andy anywhere.
First, he comes off as a ‘grumpus’. Then, he gets a lecture on how phones work. And finally, as he tries to explain to his mom that texts work as a mini-email, everything seems to backfire after his mom asks for his email address. Never mind, Andy. Just answer the first time she texts.
When Mom's Jokes Are Worse Than Dad's
Depending on how you grow up, that first joke with your parents might be completely normal or it might be exceedingly awkward. While dads are famous for bad jokes, sometimes moms also know how to be funny, and, judging by her response to this text, this is definitely one of those times.
And to be honest, this mom clearly seems to get it, as not only has she heard of the word "crackalaking", but she's also using "lol"! As funny as she is, her child does not seem to agree, which we can all relate to, when our parents make a joke, it's just not that funny.
Burn!
We have to say that we love this mom's honesty. And to be fair, those dots are the only thing the kid could have replied because that was a successful burn if we ever read one. This mom isn't taking any sass from her teenage son, and we applaud it.
If these are the kind of jokes that his mom makes, then hopefully, he grows up and realizes the world doesn't work the way he thinks it should. Otherwise, he'll end up bitter and angry at the world and how it doesn't cater to his every need. Pick up after yourself and respect your parents!
Anything to Get Her to Call
This mom is determined to get her daughter to call, no matter what. If telling her that she has a missed call, that her sisters had a rough day, or that she and her husband are having a pot roast for dinner isn't enough, certainly the last text will do the trick.
Admittedly, it’s really tough to compete with your mom when she texts you about your father and how he has a hernia. Your mother is, arguably, the most esteemed authority in your life. So when she tells you to call, no matter the reason, you better pick up the phone and start dialing!
Semantics
For the first time in probably ever, this mom's knack for calling out her son's typo will not be deemed loveably annoying, but annoying. Here this kid was trying to find out what time he was born, but he forget to mention one important thing in his message. The TIME!
So this mom just decided to answer his original question with a cheeky message about being "pretty sure". Another point for mother's everywhere. But while she did answer the question correctly, her kid couldn't help but get annoyed with her response. Next time, reread your messages before pushing 'send', kid!
