Moms are awesome. They're like superheroes. There's literally nothing they can't do. Except for when it comes to text messaging perhaps. And though they try their hardest to keep up with the times and the communication methods of our time, trying often pairs with failing.

For some moms, it's the autocorrect that ruins their perfectly good messages, for others - it's the missed jokes, taking things too literally, and well, caring just a tiny bit too much. Whichever reason it may be, the outcome can vary between mildly funny and absolutely hilarious.

Take a look at these SMS fails to see what we mean. Compiled by Bored Panda, the list serves to remind us that while moms usually know best, even they aren't immune to getting things wrong occasionally. But even then they're still right. Why? Because they're moms. And moms are always right!

    You obviously don't have teenagers? I can stock the pantry and the fridge and still hear them loudly complain that there's nothing to eat! Lol. This mom was prob being cool and leaving them pizza and burger money. It's what I would do.

    My sister gives my niece 50$ for food and tells her if she runs out, then she's going to have to figure something out on her own since she won't be home to give her more money. So my niece has learned to actually buy proper food instead.
