Remember the fist time your parents texted you? Or remember the first time you texted one of your kids? It probably was some combination of numbers, letters, and symbols that you didn’t even know existed.
I know my parents have done a great job of taking an efficient form of communication and making it utterly pointless. That being said, seeing the product of their old hands typing on a tiny, self-correcting keyboard is always good for a laugh.
Thankfully, someone has finally created a website that only publishes text messages from parents. The site, When Parents Text, is a great time waster. At the rate we’re going, CBS will pick it up as a sitcom in a matter of weeks. Go check it out.
Here are 10 of the best:
- DAD: Good morning! do you remember where you left the lady gaga cd that was in my truck?
- MOM: I want a daily count of all the fruits and vegetables you eat. Just for the year 2011. Not as a mother, as a friend
- MOM: what is IDK?
ME: I dont know
MOM: Oh, do you know who does?
