Me: Hello?
Mom: Hey, I was just checking on you – thought I might catch you in the airport.
Me: Yep. I’m in Hotlanta.
Mom: Hot…? Oh, Atlanta.
Me: Yes.
Mom: Did you get my twitter?
Me: Oh, you sent out a tweet? No – I must have missed it. That’s the thing with twitter,
you have to…
Mom: Well, I sent it a few days ago. Maybe it didn’t work.
Me: Hrm…ok well I’ll look and let you know.
——————-Five Minutes Later———————
Me: Mom, I just saw it.
Mom: Oh, you got it?!
Me: Well, yes, in a sense. You do realize that all 16 of your followers also saw it?
Mom: Well, I don’t know any of them.
Me: Right. Well, I’m sure they were confused to see a tweet asking if “I was there” – especially since you called me “noon”.
Mom: (Pause) Oh, ha ha.
Me: And why did you send out all of these other tweets with random letters?
Mom: I was testing it — you know, from my “iTouch”?
Me: (resisting the urge to correct her with “iPod Touch”.) Oh, ok. Well, it works!
Mom: At least I gave you something to laugh about today!
Me: You’re pretty consistent with that mom — you do call my blog “Super Shocker Chicks” afterall.
Mom: (Absentmindedly…) Oh, yes. How do you say it again?
Love it! So funny how things so normal to us can seem so *not* normal to our “elders”. ;)
ultra impressive that your mom is tweeting. and her saying your blog name wrong is too funny and totally my mom. i’ve got my mom finally reading my blog like 1-2 x per week but she has yet to figure out how to leave a comment. (nearly 3 years after my blog started……)
LOL. Sounds JUST like my mom!
That’s cute! I’m still working on getting my mom out of dial up…It’ll be years before she gets Twitter. lol
Your mother must be very savy, I don’t understand Twitter even though I belong, or post, or tweet, or whatever it is you do there.
That’s sweet :) I have to admit I don’t understand Twitter – it feels like a whole separate application for my Facebook status….
I am so impressed that your mom Tweets! I may have to follow her. Funny!
