Thanks Dad, What Would We Do Without You

Parents and technology can lead to hilarious moments, like when a dad texted his child to tell them they left their phone at home. This amusing incident had everyone chuckling because the dad sent the message to the very phone his kid didn’t have. Instead of realizing the mix-up, he kept texting.

The irony of the situation is priceless. Imagine the dad’s face when he discovered his mistake! It would’ve been better if he called a friend or colleague instead. This kind of funny mix-up shows how technology can confuse even the best of us.

Dad’s Unexpected Advice on a Bad Day

Kids often share their frustrations with parents, right? One kid texted their dad about a terrible practice session and mentioned wanting to stab everyone out of frustration. The dad humorously advised avoiding getting any blood on their clothes. The kid, surprised, reminded their dad that, as a police officer, he shouldn’t condone violence.

The dad’s witty response was a reminder not to tell him how to live his life. This amusing back-and-forth highlights the unique humor in their relationship, blending frustration with unexpected wit, and proving that even serious parents can have a hilarious side.

Mom’s Quest for the Space Bar

Welcoming parents to the digital age always brings a chuckle. When one person messaged their mom after she bought her first smartphone, she didn’t respond for a while. Suddenly, a text popped up saying, “howdoyoudoaspace.” The delay? She was trying to figure out where the space bar was! This funny incident highlights the learning curve with new technology. Imagine the mom’s determination, hunting for that elusive space bar. Her message, though unexpected, perfectly captures the charm of parents navigating their way through the tech world. It’s a sweet reminder that everyone’s a beginner at some point.

We Did Not Need To Know That

A funny texting mix-up happened when someone told their dad that mom wanted him to get her Prego. The dad responded that he couldn’t because he solved that problem years ago. The kid, grossed out, replied with an “Ew” and clarified that mom wanted Prego, the pasta sauce.

Who knew that Dad could turn a simple message into a TMI session! It’s a reminder that sometimes, a little clarification goes a long way, especially when it comes to grocery requests! Moments like these keep family conversations entertaining, don’t they?

Did Mom Cheat?

Even moms love Johnny Depp! This amusing text exchange shows a mom asking her child how to erase her search for “Johnny Depp’s b***” so dad won’t see it. Mom could have easily cleared her browsing history or used incognito mode, but instead, she opted for a more humorous route.

This candid moment highlights the funnier side of parental tech struggles and their secret celebrity crushes. It’s always entertaining to see how parents navigate technology with a mix of innocence and humor, making everyday conversations delightfully unexpected.

Mom and Her Quick Wit

Always re-read your text before pressing send! A hilarious texting mishap occurred when a son meant to ask his mom, “What time was I born?” but instead typed, “What was I born?” Mom, with her quick wit, replied that she was pretty sure he was a boy. Realizing the typo, the son corrected himself.

Mom, amused by the mistake, eventually provided the correct time. It’s a perfect example of how a little typo can lead to big laughs and unforgettable conversations.

The Cat Wants You To Confess

In this text exchange, a mom massages her child a picture of their cat, with a message saying, “The cat wants to know why she found condoms in the laundry.” Clearly too embarrassed to ask directly, mom cleverly used the cat as a stand-in.

The humor of the situation lies in the cat’s bewildered expression and mom’s ingenious deflection. This light-hearted approach to an awkward discovery highlights the funny and inventive ways parents communicate with their kids, even if they drag the cat into the mix!

The Curious Case of the Google Logo

In this humorous text exchange, a mom asks her child to stop changing the Google logo because she prefers the original one. The child clarifies that they don’t control Google and that Google itself changes the logo. Mom, seemingly confused, asks if her child doesn’t run Google.

The child humorously points out that if they did, they wouldn’t be driving a 2004 Ford. This funny interaction highlights how parents can sometimes misunderstand how technology works. The changing Google doodles likely puzzled mom, showing that even the simplest tech elements can perplex the moms.

Mom’s Accidental Insult

Moms! They just casually drop the sickest burns without even realizing it. While texting her child, a mom mentions having a terrible dream involving her child, herself, their grandparent, and “a bunch of your friends.” The child humorously responds, pointing out they don’t have a bunch of friends.

Mom, oblivious to the subtle roast, confirms that in her dream, she managed to have some! The child sarcastically thanks her, highlighting the unintentional diss. This unintended jab reminds us how parents can sometimes be hilariously unaware of their own words.

Moms Who Cannot Decode

A mom tries to find out when her child is coming home. When there’s no quick response, she sends a message with “WTF??” Confused, the child asks if she knows what that means. Mom innocently replies, thinking it stands for Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday!

The child points out that’s not the meaning, leading to a thumbs-down emoji. This funny incident highlights how parents can sometimes hilariously misunderstand texting lingo, even though “WTF” has been around since the ’80s! Maybe mom needs to catch up on what the kids are saying.

That Was Savage!

When a mom noticed her son’s room was full of cups and dishes, she texted him to remind him that they belong in the kitchen. Trying to be funny, the son joked that even women belong in the kitchen. But Mom didn’t take too kindly to that jab.

She pointed out that it’s more likely to see a woman in the kitchen than in his bedroom. Her witty comeback transformed a simple question into a hilarious exchange. This light-hearted moment highlights the playful banter between parents and their kids, showing that moms always have the best comebacks.

A Very Strong Week

A person simply tries to tell their dad they’re having the best week of their life, but AutoCorrect changes “week” to “weed.” Dad’s response is surprising—he agrees and asks who their supplier is, later telling him not to tell mom. The kid, shocked, quickly clarifies the mistake.

Oh, the pitfalls of AutoCorrect and how parents can sometimes unexpectedly roll with the mix-up. Weed laws vary across the United States, with some states legalizing it while others have not. We hope dad knows this!

Call and He’ll Answer

Andy’s mom believed that texting her son repeatedly would make his phone ring like a call. How did she arrive at that amusing conclusion! She sent multiple texts saying his name, trying to get his attention.

Her son, confused, explained that texts don’t work like phone calls. The mom’s misunderstanding turned a simple situation into a comical one. Andy should definitely introduce her to some of the latest messaging apps that have call features, and she could use that instead.

The Butt off the Joke

Okay, who did this? A mom asks her daughter Elizabeth, if she did something to her phone because every time she types “but,” it automatically changes it to “b***.” Elizabeth, playing along, asks what it changes to. The mom types it again, and the autocorrect prank continues.

She finds it amusing and suggests her mom types the original word again, which yields the same result. This funny incident is likely a prank Elizabeth played on her mom, causing confusion and laughter.

When Texts Aren’t Enough

Parents texting can lead to some entertaining drama, like when a mom updates her child on every family member’s happenings through text, then complains about the lack of calls. The child humorously points out that there’s no need to call since she shared everything already.

Mom quickly follows up with, “Your father has a hernia,” prompting the child to immediately call. A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or tissue, which can be serious and might require medical attention. We hope dad is okay now!

The Bunny Incident

Courtney texts her mom, sharing that she hit a bunny rabbit with her car. Mom, showing her humorous side, responds with a series of bunny jokes, even saying that Easter is canceled. Courtney tries to explain her side of the story, insisting the rabbit ran out in front of her and there was nothing she could do.

Mom, however, continues the fun by crafting a little story about Peter Cottontail hopping down the Bunny Trail, only to meet his end thanks to Courtney. Mom’s quick wit and the lighthearted jibe was in good faith, turning a stressful situation into a laughable memory.

Not AutoCorrect Again!

A mom texts her child, asking if they still need help with sewing. She accidentally types that she “urinated” her pants, thanks to autocorrect changing “unhemmed.” The child, concerned, asks why and if she’s okay.

Mom clarifies that she meant to say “unhemmed” and did not actually pee herself, leading to a “relieved” and humorous exchange. Did you know that the first known sewing needles were made from animal bones and date back to around 25,000 years ago? We wonder how they “unhemmed” back then!

The LOL Mix-Up

David receives a text from his mom, sharing the sad news of his great aunt’s passing, ending with “LOL.” Confused, David asks why she finds it funny. His mom, puzzled, explains she thought “LOL” meant “lots of love.” David clarifies that it actually means “laughing out loud.”

Realizing her mistake, mom panics, saying she has to call everyone back to explain she wasn’t laughing at her aunt’s passing. It’s a light-hearted reminder to always double-check those abbreviations, and not just assume what those pesky abbreviations mean!

Mom’s Emoji Fumble

A mom sends her son a poop emoji, thinking it’s a cute chocolate kiss with eyes. Her son, amused, quickly corrects her, pointing out it’s actually a poop emoji. Mom, realizing her mistake, laughs and apologizes.

This mix-up is funny because it makes you wonder what could have happened if the son hadn’t corrected her. Imagine mom sending the “chocolate kiss” emoji to friends or in a more serious context, her boss or colleague! This mom learned a valuable lesson in understanding the importance of knowing one’s emojis.

The Un-Grounding

How could anybody be mad at this kid! A student texts their mom, confessing they got detention. Mom, initially upset, asks what happened and declares her child grounded. The kid explains that when the teacher asked all idiots to stand up, they stood up and quipped, “Well, I didn’t want you to feel lonely.”

Mom, finding the response hilarious, ungrounds the kid and shares the story at work. Grounding, a practice that began in the 1940s, is meant to discipline children by restricting their activities. Of course, its effectiveness varies!

Lost in Translation

Well, most smartphones are made in China, so maybe this phone just went to default mode! In a frustrating exchange, a mom accidentally gets her phone stuck in Chinese mode, sending texts full of Chinese characters. Her confused kid asks why she’s texting in Chinese, laughing at the situation.

This could have happened if mom accidentally switched her keyboard language settings. To fix it, she can go into her phone’s settings, find the keyboard options, and switch back to English. Oh, how easily tech settings can go awry!

Bringing Her Smiley Game With Her

Someone texts their mom, wishing her a happy Thanksgiving with a smiley face. Mom responds with a heartfelt greeting but admits she doesn’t know how to make a smiley face. We hope she told her mom that making a smiley face is simple: just type a colon followed by a parenthesis like so :).

Smileys in texts date back to the 1980s, when they were first used to add emotion to digital messages. This funny exchange highlights how even the smallest tech skills can trip us up, but also bring a smile to our faces—no pun intended!

Hot In The Market

We don’t see it, can you? Mom proudly announces that she learned to make a smiley face. Her child responds, noting that smileys have been around for a while. Mom then sends her unique creation: “}+” and calls it a “winky face.” This amusing interaction shows that creativity knows no bounds.

The first emoticon, , was proposed by Scott Fahlman in 1982. Screenshots, which help capture such moments, became widely available on phones around 2007 with the iPhone. Mom’s inventive smiley adds a fresh twist to texting, proving that even old tricks can have new twists!

Message Received, Mom

When a mom texts her child, worried that her messages aren’t going through, her child reassures her that they are indeed getting through. However, mom insists with an illogical question: “How can you be sure?” The child could easily send a screenshot to prove it.

Interestingly, the screenshot feature first appeared on phones around 2007 with the iPhone. This amusing exchange highlights the funny ways parents can sometimes overthink simple tech issues.​​ There is hardly any cure for an uncertain mind, is there?

Dads Gone Wild

Is this good “dad-ly” advice? Mom would disagree! A kid tells his dad he got into a fight at school but didn’t start it. Dad, ever pragmatic, advises never to throw the first punch—but then hilariously goes on about throwing the second, third, and so on. He even adds instructions for kicks and having a good excuse ready for the teacher.

No dad should encourage fighting, but his sheer pragmatism is both shocking and amusing. While we don’t support violence, dad’s “survival” advice in this dog-eat-dog world is a reminder to always be prepared—though maybe not quite like this!

She’s Not A Regular Mom, She’s A Cool Mom!c

The Spice Girls are loved across generations as proved by this screenshot. A mom asks her kid what they want for dinner. The kid replies with the iconic Spice Girls lyrics, “I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want.” Mom, being super cool, joins in on the fun, completing the lyrics. The kid then requests pizza.

The Spice Girls, a British girl group from the ’90s, were famous worldwide for their catchy songs and vibrant personalities. This playful text exchange shows how music can bridge generations.. Best mom ever, indeed!

When You Have Just One Thing On Your Mind

In a late-night text exchange, a dad tells his kid he made some “lightly fried fish filets” at 1:15 in the morning. The bewildered kid asks why, and dad replies that he wasn’t tired and thought they might want to come downstairs for some hot fish filets. Repeating “lightly fried fish filets” multiple times, dad’s excitement is palpable.

Eating this late isn’t great for digestion or sleep, but sometimes you just can’t resist a midnight snack. The time and culinary choices are rather odd, isn’t it?
