Today, my mom learned how to use the text messaging on her smartphone. I've received 37 already, and she calls after every single one to make sure I understood her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally taught my mom how to text message people. Now I get a message from her every 30 seconds saying "Hi". FML
Today, my mom finally learned how to text. Now it's her way of communicating, even when we're in the same room. FML
Today, I finally convinced my grandpa to try a smartphone. After an hour of teaching him how to text, he announced he'd figured it out on his own. The first message he ever sent was meant for me. It went to his pharmacist instead and simply read, "Love you. Thanks for everything." FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, “I’m so proud of you!” I immediately replied, “Thanks, Mom!” Then I realized it was meant for my sister, and my mom had accidentally texted me instead of her. FML
Today, I found out my best friend made a program to reply to my text messages with random sentences from a list. It took 15 minutes of texting before I finally noticed. FML
Today, I sent my mom a text to tell her about my promotion at work. She responded with, "Who is this?" It turns out that she deleted my number, because I "never call." FML
Today, I text messaged my mom from Afghanistan to let her know everything was okay. She responded, telling me not to message her so much because "the price of text messages really adds up." FML
Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, I found out my dad bought an iPhone. I've spent the better part of the last six months teaching him how to check his email and online newspapers. FML
Today, I found out that my mom has linked my iPhone with her iPad and has been secretly reading my texts. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, if you have ever been to damnyouautocorrect.com, I think it's pretty funny when parents text. Especially moms. :)

My parents, thankfully, aren't that bad when it comes to texting. They know to text me when I can't talk on the phone. When I first taught my mom how to text I thought she would end up like OPs mother lol.

My parents are alright with texting too. My mom used to text me in class when I was bored. My dad on the other hand, well that's just another story...

Considering they're basically mini handheld computers and can be so useful, I wouldn't call them overpriced....BUT that's just me.

^^ I would like to disagree, I got mine for $100 and its $50 a month. Not too expencive in my eyes.
Keyman1212 14
It may not be 'expencive' in your eyes, but is it expensive?

overreact much? Just give her a week and she wont be able to use her thumbs anymore.

When she calls asking if you understand you should say "No." and wait for her reply

Your mother is just excited that she learned a new skill. After a week or so she will probably get bored and do it less often. If it shall continue then perhaps you should politely ask her to stop.
