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!

I had to chew my parents out for a couple years, before they finally caught on that I desperately needed them to call out they were home when they came in, because they kept terrifying me. I'd hear a door, then silence, or foot steps, but they couldn't be bothered to say, "It's me, I'm home!".
Veronica Cougar 3 years ago
If they really cared, they would have done that the next time they came home after that. They enjoyed f*****g with your head. Sorry you had to go through that for years with two callous fucktards for parents.
