Ah, grandmothers. They just want to keep in touch with you.
As we make fewer phone calls to family, we enter into a whole new realm of hilarious texts from folks who just can’t quite get the hang of this newfangled technology.
Whether it’s an epic autocorrect fail (hey, those happen to the best of us), a talk-to-text disaster, or just plain misunderstanding of how the device works, these 55 grandmas ended up sending some seriously hilarious texts.
And some of them are probably just hilarious in person as well!
1. That’s not how you Google
It looks like she’s having some pet stain issues, so we hope she found a way to clean that up AND remember the difference between a text and a search.


2. Voluntary OIT guy
Just know that she’s going to need to take you up on it, often. That is if she can manage to cry for help.


3. That escalated quickly
And get ready for baby pressure over text message.


4. You thought you were safe from the mail
Someone is about to find out.


5. She put it in writing
Don’t people know better than to insult grandma in a way she can keep permanently and use to guilt you forever?
Amateurs.


6. She’s everywhere
Remember that next time you post something online.


7. Chill grandma
But hey, she can text AND selfie – she’s got skills!


8. The lingo
Watch out before she starts making up her own acronyms.
CYG – that means “call your grandma.”


9. The Bieber fish
Grandma will be happy to recount the entire conversation to you over text.
Also, she seems to think a lot of people are idiots.


10. Just go set out the lasagna
Or invent a phone that can guess who you’re trying to text based on what you write.


11. Thumbs up
That or grandma secretly wants to flip you off.


12. Trivia time
One thing we sometimes need to explain to grandparents is that getting random texts throughout the day can be distracting.
Next time grandma complains about how young people just don’t know how to concentrate anymore, remind her of this text.


13. That’s a nice story
But hope you had a great day nontheless!


14. Good opener
We’re not sure if she is just as concerned with how classes went as she is with her brother’s death or if she just wanted to make sure her grandchild was there and paying attention before she dropped the news.


15. Good thing
Luckily, this one dodged that bullet.


16. Very stately
We just want to know what word it’s autocorrecting.
17. Then what are you holding?
But it does seem suspicious.


18. Cannot handle your reply
Is grandma trolling the spammers or just really keen to share dog photos?


19. LOL
Grandma doesn’t get to make up her own.


20. We don’t want to know the backstory
Best not to ask.


21. I saw it on TV
Grandma just wants to keep you safe, after all.


22. Call me on my printer
But sure, just give me your printer’s phone number.


23. Run-on
She’ll be pleasantly surprised to know she doesn’t have to send every message she types.


24. She got poked
Then again, maybe she knows you’ll give her a better answer than the Internet.
Just remember to tell her she doesn’t have to feel scandalized by a poke if it doesn’t occur IRL.


25. Just keep going
Yes.
Again, it’s time to show her that little back button with the X on it. It’ll be her best friend. And yours.


26. Thanks for the reminder
And sometimes they let you know in very strange ways.


27. Selfie skills
We’re just confused as to why she thinks anyone needs to see this photo.


28. Grandma’s got your back
Sometimes an accidental text means you get some unexpected moral support from grandma.
But she might need to watch some less violent television because we’re concerned she might actually get out her crowbar.


29. Foxy grandma
Also, that’s a cruel yet brilliant party prank.


30. Yesbuthelp
Instead, just gear up for the challenge of deciphering one-word texts.


31. Who is this cotton candy?
Second, we really want to know if cotton candy is family slang or an autocorrect.
If it’s the latter, do we want to know what she was calling Nicki Minaj?


32. Random commentary
Grandma: Here’s what I think about everything…


33. Please add glop
But not seriously enough to name your glop.


34. She’s still alive alright
To be fair, capital letters are a lot easier to see.
On the other hand, just how often do you have to check in before you get a guilt trip? Sheesh.


35. A little Nazi trivia for your birthday
Either way, we sure hope that sweater fits.


36. Thinking of you
Grandma will be thinking of you every time she sits on the toilet.


37. Don’t laugh
Also, does grandma realize that text messages are more private than Facebook messages?


38. Happy conception day
That or she just really doesn’t want to forget to wish you a happy birthday.
We can only hope it’s the latter.


39. Questions left unasked
But we’d still like to know about those puppies.


40. Not beautiful enough
Grandma doesn’t get the concept of personal choice.


41. That’s dope
Better luck next time, grandma.


42. Where do you buy emojis?
Then again, once she starts she may never stop.


43. Setting the bar low
On the bright side, this gives her a reason to be proud of you.


44. Someone cut her off
Hope she had a designated driver!


45. Not a fan
We think Lorde is really beautiful, but apparently, grandma thinks she needs to gussy up a bit.


46. You’re not alone, grandma
Either way, enjoy explaining autocorrect. You might want to tell her she can turn it off.


47. Truth
But this grandma’s got it down enough to send back an appropriate reply – and that’s really half the battle.


48. Jesus doesn’t judge
Do you think her head would explode?


49. Accidental sext
Thanks anyway, grandma.


50. You had to be there
Don’t worry about missing the holiday because you’ll get all the details.


51. Entertain me
But shouldn’t she have learned to entertain herself by now? After all, she has the entire Internet in the palm of her hands!


52. She loves texting
She’ll send you a letter all about it.


53. Relentless
Can’t grandma wait to see if the phone is going to autocorrect before sending that next message?
Apparently not.


54. Who’s on first?
Better hurry up with that RSVP next time.


55. Absurdity level: maximum
There are some real words in there, so we’re pretty confused about how this monstrosity happened.
Only grandma could send something like this.


Sometimes you have to step in and help, but other times you just need to go with it and have a laugh.
