1. Wrong LOL

For older generations it can be tricky to keep up with the text lingo as it changes so quickly. What’s more complicated to keep up with than the text lingo is that it can have multiple meanings. Take LOL for example which means laughing out loud. However, many often confuse it to mean lots of love which can make for some pretty funny texts.

My wife’s uncle thought “LOL” meant lots of love a close family member died and he sent “sorry for your loss thinking of you LOL” #TextFail

2. What Does IDK Mean?

We could be here a while with this one. For this text fail one mother was asking what IDK meant. She may have to ask the whole family to figure it out.

3. Uh Oh

We can all understand the pain of a quick typo. Especially one that we realized too late and have already hit the send button. Particularly when the word still makes sense. Such as this text fail that definitely didn’t go over well at first.

My boyfriend sent me “this place is beautiful, wish you were her” #textfail

4. Wrong Crying Face

Just like text slang, understanding exactly what each emoji means can be a difficult task. That is until you find out the hard way. Just like this mom did when she accidentally used the laughing crying face while announcing the news of a death. Sorry!

Someone we know died & my mom texted me the news followed by 😂. Had to tell her that that is not in fact a hysterical crying face #textfail

5. Happy Birthday Gma

Well thanks, Grandma! While wishing their grandchild a “lovely” birthday they accidentally miss-typed and wrote “lonely” instead. It’s the thought that counts though right?

6. Mass Panic

Sometimes it isn’t us that makes the error but autocorrect. Which sometimes that error can cause sheer panic for the sender or receiver. Take this text fail, for example. When trying to let their mother know that grandmother was doing just fine the message instead autocorrected to say that grandmother is gone.

7. Excuse Me What?

With the emoji size being so small it can be difficult to tell what is what. Especially when so many of them have cute faces! For one dad he mistakenly thought the smiling poop emoji was actually chocolate ice cream. Yum!

My dad sent me “Want to get some 💩?” He thought it was chocolate ice cream. #TextFail

8. Auto Corrected Theme

Sometimes autocorrect not only makes for a funny text fail but also an inspiration for new text slang or even a party theme! Take this one for example, when one mother was texting her daughter for decorations but instead of writing boat themed she wrote Borat themed. Once the text was sent, the sister couldn’t help but take the party up a notch with a new and better theme.

My parents put me in charge of the decorations for my sisters grad party but my mom misguided me a tad on the theme #TextFail pic.twitter.com/87b1Uzn7ON

— Emil Wakim (@emilwakim) July 26, 2017

9. Ouch

Sometimes when we have something or someone on our mind we just start automatically typing or writing their name. Unfortunately for Nate that was the case with his girlfriend. When writing a text to one of her friends letting them know she was going to break up with Nate she just so happened to send it to Nate. At least he knows the truth.

Once received text:
“Pray for me. I’m going to break up w/ Nate tonight.”
Problem1: My name is Nate
Problem2: Text was from gf#textfail

10. Is Mom Okay?

We’ve all sent weird messages by accident. Whether it’s random typing, a voice memo, or just a bunch of random words strung together, the message is always strange to send or receive. But as far as text fails go, they are luckily most of the time rather funny.

Can’t tell if my mom was trying to tell me something or rap something #TextFail pic.twitter.com/1Vfo3xMMMR

— han (@hannah_pellicer) July 26, 2017

11. Wait Where’s Dad Going?

Wait where is dad going? When planning to text their mother they were taking their dad to the warehouse they accidentally wrote a very different place. A place that might make this mother very concerned about where dad is actually going.

Plan: Txt mom “im taking dad to the warehouse”
Execution: Txted mom “im taking dad to the whorehouse” #TextFail #autocorrect

— Sam HT (@hhatami) July 26, 2017

12. Snail Mail

Sometimes people can interpret texts in a very different way than what was first intended. When asking their mother to send a pic of their father they received no response. That is until they got a picture in the mail 5 days later…that works too.

Asked my mom to send pic of dad. 5 days later got a pic in the mail #textfail

— Justin Dellert (@shoholajc) July 26, 2017

13. Wait…Who Is This?

We’ve all gotten texts from random numbers. It is almost too easy to confuse numbers seeing as there are millions of us and phone numbers can vary by one digit. With numbers changing so quickly as we get new devices and phone plans when we go to text an old reliable number the receiver may be a completely different person than it was before which can cause a lot of interesting interactions.

My mom texted an old number of mine and they replied asking, “Who is this?” She answered, “Your mom.” #TextFail

— 𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐞 💋 (@Mizzars_) July 26, 2017

14. Still Works

When one friend was trying to send their friend a sweet message letting them know they wish they were there with them, autocorrect had something else in mind. Instead of sending “wish you were here” autocorrect changed here to beer. The message still worked so they sent it anyway.

I was texting my friend “wish you were here” phone changed to “wish you were beer” – I sent it anyway. #TextFail

— Mike Miranda (@Weedstu) July 28, 2017

15. Wait You Left Your Phone

Sometimes we can be on the phone and looking for it at the very same time. Or when someone leaves without their phone the first thought we have to do is call or text them to let them know. However, they will never receive the message that is until they come back for their phone.

I once texted my best friend who I live with saying “hey bud, you’ve left your phone at home” #TextFail

— TJ • (@teej_arnold) July 26, 2017

16. Bed, Bath & Beyoncé

Now this is a place we’d all love to go. The best of three worlds that many of us could probably stay for hours. We imagine while you shop for bed and bath, Beyoncé plays softly in the background.

Husband texted and asked where I was going. “Bed, Bath, and Beyoncé.” That’s what we call Bed, Bath, and Beyond now. #TextFail

— Jim and Julie (@JimnJulie) July 26, 2017

17. I’ll Miss You

Sometimes we can send really dramatic messages to our loved ones, especially, when we are sick or hurt. On the other hand, when we are the receiver of those messages trying to console that person, autocorrect can quickly change a sweet message. As we see here as they try to respond to their friend who claims they are ready to die…

18. Biggest Fear

Our phones are capable of doing so many things. That includes photoshop on the go which, when used correctly, it can make it seem like anything is real. That is until we photoshop a picture of ourselves and our crush and accidentally send it right to them. Yikes! We really wish we knew what happened next.

well i sent really good photoshoped photo of me and my crush to my crush #TextFail

— zuzannnnna☁ (@dropsomedead) July 26, 2017

19. Whoops

If you’ve ever been to Whole Foods you know how quickly you can spend $100. When one wife texted her husband for some goldfish she didn’t realize she had a small typo in her message… that is until her husband came home with $60 worth of good fish.

@jimmyfallon my wife asked me to get some “Good Fish” I spent $60 bucks at Whole Foods Got home an she meant Gold Fish the snack #TextFail

— Coop (@CooperJack01) July 26, 2017

20. Confusion Ensues

One husband was a bit confused after receiving this text from his wife. Especially when it was a weird answer to his question. Thankfully for him, it was just a typo.

When trying to say “I’m game!” when my wife texted me that she wanted to make out, I typed “I’m GAY!” Confusion ensued. #textfail

— Barry B (@23spartan364) July 26, 2017

21. TTYL

Explaining what text lingo means to others over text can get confusing. Specifically because oftentimes the receiver doesn’t read it as the sender originally sent it. Just as we see here when one friend tried to explain what TTYL means.

Once I texted my friend “TTYL.” He asked what that meant, and I said, “talk to you later.” He replied, “Jeez, just asking.” #TextFail

— jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) July 26, 2017

22. Yikes!

Here’s a perfect example of what not to do when someone texts they lost a family member. Take a look at this EPIC and very uncomfortable text fail for reference. Unfortunately, so many of us understand that sometimes we can’t help it when we have something on our mind- things just come out in the weirdest ways.

My i wish the ground would open up and swallow me whole epic #autocorrect #textfail pic.twitter.com/MCMyWRD7mM

— omar (@omarmirza000) June 19, 2017

23. Selfie With The Pope

As there are millions of people around the world there are millions of numbers to text. Numbers that are so similar their only difference maybe just a number or two. This is why we have so many random and accidental messages exchanged. Sometimes we receive gems like this text fail someone shared.

One time, a random number sent me a selfie with a cardboard cutout of the Pope lol #TextFail pic.twitter.com/kyiUrVwdCw

— Hanna (@_hannamoore) July 26, 2017

24. Saving Space

It can be overwhelming to learn all the ins and outs of your new phone. Even the simplest things can be difficult to locate at first. Just as this grandmother shows as she was struggling to locate the space bar!

When my grandma started texting she didn’t know how to add spaces, so I’d get messages like ‘doyoustillneedmetopickyouupfromschool’#TextFail

— Olivia 🦋🍀 (@olivia_0929) July 26, 2017

25. At Least He Knows The Truth

Sometimes text fails can end up working in our advantage. Even though at first it is quite uncomfortable. In this case, at least now he knows the truth.

26. Sharing Contact Info

For some of us we like to keep our contacts specific to our phone. Some of us add emojis, use nicknames, or both. This means when we go to share their contact that special name goes with it. Sometimes it’s better just to copy and paste the number.

The realtor asked my wife for my phone number. Wife sent her my contact info via iPhone. I’m in her phone as “Big Daddy” #TextFail

— Zack Baird (@VanillaBaird) July 26, 2017

27. RIP Simba

When trying to update the family about how the cat was doing one mom sent a text that indicated something very different. Instead of saying that Simba was safe and sound at home, she sent that Sima was gone. May he rest in the sweetest peace…alive and dreaming in the comfort of his own home.

28. Caps Lock

Problems we also often face when we try to send messages is accidentally typing in all caps. Which if you use your phone often you know that using all caps regularly means either excitement or yelling. One dad was stuck in caps for a long time so simple messages about grocery items were yelled through the phone.

For the longest time my dad couldn’t figure out how not to text in all caps. So I would get texts like “GET MILK” #TextFail

— Lauran (@laurancarrie) July 26, 2017

29. Lack Toast & Tolerant

Sometimes when we don’t know how to spell something our best solution is to just sound it out. This is probably the case with this text fail. You can’t say they didn’t try!

Told a friend I have gas & stomach pains after I drink milk.
She said, do you know if you’re lack toast and tolerant or not? #TextFail

— Chris P. Bacon (@ChrisPBaconJr) July 26, 2017

30. When You Text Your Boys & Not Your Baby

Whoops! It can be embarrassing when you send a special text to the wrong person or people. Especially when you mix up your workout bros with your baby!

Texting your workout bros “I’m here at the gym baby 😍 ❤️ you” then later realizing you didn’t send that to your girl -Cesar #TextFail

— Imperfect Bros (@imperfectbros) July 26, 2017

31. That’s Cool…

Saying I love you is a big step in many relationships and the response received after can say a lot about relationships. When this girl texted a guy she was seeing the movie she was watching he completely misunderstood. To make matters worse his answer was a simple “that’s cool“.

Guy I been c-ing for 2 weeks asked what movie I was watching. I say ps.i love you. He saysthat’s cool, so what movie r u watching? #textfail

— Megan McCourt (@McCourtMeg) July 26, 2017

32. Love, Grandma

Grandmas say the darndest things sometimes. Especially once they get a new smartphone and start using text lingo they don’t understand completely. Either way, their texts just like their cards always make for a good laugh.

My grandma thought lol meant lots of love, so when my brother got a concussion she texted him “heard you got a concussion lol” #TextFail

— Caroline (@cococox13) July 26, 2017

33. TMI

It’s text fails like this that make us suspicious if autocorrect is trying to play a prank on it users. When trying to respond “not much” to a friend asking him whats up instead it autocorrected to “nut itch“. TMI!

34. Poor Mom

We wonder how long it took for this mom to figure out that this was a shortcut prank. We also wonder how many people she accidentally responded love you too. Poor mom but the shortcut prank could’ve been way worse she should consider herself lucky.

I changed ‘ok’ and ‘love you’ on autocorrect for my mom. #TextFail pic.twitter.com/z4PavKDl9j

— caroline blair (@heycaroblair) July 27, 2017

35. Family Sign-Off

Teaching the older generation new technology is always fun. Especially when they add their own little twist to it. Just as Sheryl Crow’s mom did after learning how to use voice-text.

We taught my mom how to use voice-text. This is now the family sign-off. 😂 #textfail pic.twitter.com/wvWiqdsTYj

— Sheryl Crow (@SherylCrow) July 26, 2017

36. “I Am Your Father”

With a slip of one letter new lingo and new nicknames can be born. Just as Angharad found out when they went to share their nickname with a new guy they were talking to. But instead of writing Haddy they accidentally wrote daddy.

discussing my name (Angharad) with a guy, said I prefer my nickname Haddy. Autocorrected to ‘you can call me daddy’ #TextFail

— Haddy Powell (@Haddypo) July 27, 2017

37. Anything For The Boss!

Then there are responses that are unintentionally inappropriate. Somehow it just works out that after they are said it is a little awkward because they just sound inappropriate. Take how Brianna learned this lesson as she told her boss they could dump on her anytime. Yikes…

38. Run!

When this person was about to be picked up by their mother they received a pretty nerve-wracking text. Instead of writing get you their mom accidentally wrote kill you. Although we believe it was an accident not sure if you can fully trust mom again after receiving this text message!

I don’t know who I can trust anymore #TextFail pic.twitter.com/WefKZpGn1D

— Kyrs10 🐶 (@KyrstenProctor) July 26, 2017

39. Awkward!

There are just some things you don’t share with your family. Instead of texting her brother good news…she accidentally wrote nudes. Talk about an awkward text fail.

Once I tried to text my brother about good news but instead I told him “I have good nudes” #TextFail

— Niki (@stupid_rookie) July 26, 2017

40. Wait Where’s Dad?

This is the type of message you don’t want to read in a text. One mom tried to text her children that their father was in heaven with his new boat. However, she sent the message with no photo. Whoops!

mom sent group msg to my siblings saying “daddy’s in heaven” and failed to attach photo of him with his new boat #textfail @jimmyfallon 😂

— Ty Burt (@tlrbrt) July 26, 2017

41. Can’t Stop It

Sometimes it’s the simple little things in life that can bring us the most joy. For one wife it is the fact that her husband’s car reads his texts out loud…that cannot be stopped. So when he has people in the car it’s go time for her.

42. The Worst Mistake

This can be a detrimental text fail depending on the situation. Taking a screenshot of a conversation and accidentally sending it back to the person you were talking to instead of another person is a rookie mistake…but happens to even the best of us.

Taking a screenshot of a conversation and sending it to the person you were talking to instead of another person. Good times. #TextFail

— Couchella (@rachccouch) July 26, 2017

43. Wait What Do You Mean?

When trying to figure out what new text lingo can mean explaining it isn’t always the easiest. We’ve seen a few examples within this slideshow that prove that! Here’s another one to add to the list when two friends went back and forth trying to explain WDYM.

My friend texted me WDYM and I said what does it mean? and she replied What do you mean?, and we went like that all day 😂 #TextFail

— cath ☻ (@catheb) July 26, 2017

44. Project Update

Whelp that’s embarrassing! Instead of telling his boss, he was just starting the project it autocorrected to sharted. Thanks autocorrect!

My boss sent me a text to see if I had started on a new project. Autocorrect took over & I respond, “Yep, just sharted” #TextFail

— Tim Drake (@timdrake) July 26, 2017

45. Voice Texting While Walking The Dog

Voice text can make our lives so much easier when we are using our other hand or we simply just do not want to type out a message. But voice messaging simply types what it hears and sometimes when we are multitasking other things can show up in the message. Especially when we are multitasking with animals or children.

My mother once voice texted me her yelling at the dog….#TextFail #getoverhere pic.twitter.com/XRdtQrYCrn

— Kelly Soprano (@kellysoprano) July 26, 2017

46. Tell Them What You Really Think

Ouch! Sometimes our text fails can accidentally be really mean. Just like when this friend accidentally asked their photographer friend what if they were a good photographer instead of food. Hopefully, these friends just laughed off the text fail.

Was texting my photographer/foodie bff “what if you were a food photographer!?” but sent “what if you were a good photographer!?” #TextFail

— Amy (@memersvg) July 26, 2017

47. Yeha!

Sometimes the text fails are so funny they just stick as new parts of our everyday speech. Just like when this friend meant to say yeah but instead wrote “yeha”. Now the friend only sends her a picture of a cowboy instead of writing out “yeah”.

I meant to text my friend “yeah” but it autocorrected to “yeha”. Now every time I agree with her I just send her this picture #textfail pic.twitter.com/8C8BpzxggR

— tame🧋 (@tamhortons) July 26, 2017

48. Uhm Mom…

Wait mom you love what!? When trying to tell their child they loved the character, Hermione, from Harry Potter they. wrote instead heroin. What a sigh of relief to know that the text was just a typo.

49. Oh No

Then there are the text fails that are just absolute nightmares. Just like this person shared her sister in law accidentally wrote “okay pervert” back to a client from her phone. Big yikes!

My sister in law was emailing a client from her phone & said “okay perfect.” Except it changed it to “okay pervert.” @jimmyfallon #TextFail

— Lindsay Olson-Swink (@LindsaySwink) July 26, 2017

50. Eating What!

Sometimes we get really lucky when our text fails just go to our friends or family. When these two friends were trying to decide on what to eat one accidentally wrote they felt eating children. They probably got a good laugh out of that one.

51. Grandma Can’t Locate The Spacebar

It can take our grandparents and even parents some time to figure out all the ins and outs of their new device. For some, they struggle with emojis, and for others, it’s locating the space bar. Welcome to the new age gram remember practice makes perfect!

52. Pick Up Walter At The Grocery Store

When texting in a rush we can forget letters or even accidentally add letters in. When Michelle quickly texted her husband to pick up water from the grocery store she accidentally added the letter L. We wonder if this stuck as an inside joke.

Asked my husband to pick up water at the grocery store. He immediately wrote back WHO IS THAT!?!? My text said to pick up walter. #TextFail

— Michelle Justiniano (@Starlilies68) July 26, 2017

53. FML

Just like LOL many have given text lingo their own meanings or meanings that could very well fit. Take FML as another example. This mom had to learn what it means in a rather funny way.

My mom text “taking care of grandma. FML” meaning family medical leave. #textfail

— Mallory Kelly (@malkel5) July 26, 2017

54. Worst Nightmare

It’s almost too easy to send those risky texts to the wrong person. Especially when we have group chats and usually text without too much thought…at first. That is until we make a mistake such as this one.

My husband text me to send a topless pic, but accidentally sent it to a group text with my parents and three brothers…#TextFail

— Katherine O’Connor (@LuckyMrsO) July 26, 2017

55. Texts To The Entire Family

Let them know how you really feel Andi! Not the best emojis to switch up especially when it’s in a group chat with the entire family. We wonder how the family initially reacted to this text when they first got it.

56. Brian’s Duck

Then there are those text fails that are unintentionally inappropriate. Just as Mark had to learn in an unfortunate but really funny way when he texted his wife about his friend’s tasty duck. When his wife responded initially he didn’t even know what she was laughing at. We wonder how long this inside joke has lasted.

When my husband texted me about trying some duck our friend cooked for him. Unintentionally inappropriate.. #textfail pic.twitter.com/IPXyOBPX6e

— Emilie W. (@Wemilier) July 26, 2017

57. Just Got … Paid

Their mother was probably pretty concerned after receiving this text message from her son! Thankfully it was just a typo and he meant paid. $550 bucks nice!

58. There’s Something Missing

When sending the person we like messages we sometimes get a little too preoccupied with the butterflies that we leave words or sometimes even letters out. Just like Chris did when he texted this girl he really liked. Unfortunately, that sweet message from his heart was missing something.

Met a girl & said I really liked her.
Told her that I feel something was
missing in my hart.
She told me it was the letter E.#TextFail

— Chris P. Bacon (@ChrisPBaconJr) July 26, 2017

59. Proud Parent

Sometimes in the hype of the excitement we can accidentally send the wrong message or emoji. Just as this very proud parent accidentally sent the middle finger emoji instead of thumbs up. Definitely, a strange message to receive at first but we’re sure they giggled about it later.

#TextFail My daughter texted me about an award she got in the Navy. I accidentally sent her the middle finger emoji instead of thumbs up

— Lisa Earley (@lisalou9399) July 26, 2017

60. Text Shortcut Prank

Text shortcut pranks can be pretty funny when texting friends and family. Until the person has to talk to a coworker or a potential client. Take Keith’s prank on his wife for example when he changed his wife’s yes to something a little spicer…

61. Texts From The Mothership

Moms always give the best advice. But even a mother’s advice can fall victim to autocorrect fails. Just like when this person received a text from their mom trying to tell them to drive carefully.

62. Texts To Your Ex

Accidentally sending messages to your ex most times is not a good idea. Especially when those messages have a typo within them. Most times it’s just better to move on silently.

My sister accidently texted her ex that she wished “nothing but the bed” for he and his new girlfriend #TextFail

— Hannah Strother (@HannahEStrother) July 26, 2017

63. Sara Needs New What?

We can only imagine what was going through this father’s head after receiving this text. When letting her husband know her daughter needed new tires instead she wrote a very different word instead. We can only imagine the relief he felt after he learned it was just a typo.

64. Hearts or Peaches

Deciphering the hundreds of emojis and their secondary meanings can be tough for older generations. Especially when those emojis are rather small and tough to see their details. We would say this grandma got it pretty close with shape and color.

Y’all my grandma was so excited because she thought she found the heart emoji but she sent me peaches instead 😂 #TextFail pic.twitter.com/w2Yc8ioaCo

— Emma (@LilDilEmmaa) July 26, 2017

65. Cracked Screen Screenshot

When our smartphones break we still sometimes believe they are indestructible. Or just forget how they can’t really do “everything“. Which Dijana realized when she tried to send someone a screenshot of her cracked phone screen…LOL!

66. The Accidental Group Text

It’s just as easy to text the wrong person as it is to text the wrong group chat. This person had to learn the accidental group text fail the hard way when they accidentally texted a group chat instead of one friend. Although as far as text fails are concerned this isn’t too bad.

Once texted “80’s music is the best to get dressed to in the morning”, to an entire group when I thought it was just to one friend #TextFail

— Alicia Rossano (@BiondiBlonde) July 26, 2017

67. Not The Best Text To Recieve From Your Girlfriend

This is definitely not the message you want to receive from your significant other. Instead of sending a private message to her best friend she accidentally texted her boyfriend she thought his brother was super hot. Yikes!

Texted my best friend and confessed I thought my boyfriend’s brother was super hot.. accidentally sent it to my boyfriend…🤷🏼‍♀️ #TextFail

— Mariah Tanner (@MariahTanner) July 26, 2017

68. Thanks Coach

Although the Coach probably isn’t allowed to tell this to his players it sure is nice to hear. When one player received this accidental message from his coach he wasn’t going to let him off the hook so easily. We wonder how long they made fun of their coach after this epic text fail.

Do not anybody ever let @CooBasketball tell you he doesn’t adore me cuz I have the proof right here! #AllLove #TextFail pic.twitter.com/yZWtkPox87

— Nate Kaeding (@NateKaeding) July 13, 2017

69. Good Advice

If we don’t proofread our texts before hitting send the consequences can be an epic embarrassment, funny, or just plain confusing. Not only do we have to double-check our quick fingers but make sure autocorrect didn’t “correct” it to the wrong word. Just as this mom learned when she tried typing a sentence and her phone corrected her to the word “urinate“… how strange!

70. Autocorrect Creating New Slang

Sometimes autocorrect can create a new slang. Many of us at some point just stopped fighting the ducked up autocorrect and let it become new lingo. Quack quack!

No. I did not mean “ducked up” autocorrect. 😂😂😂 #textfail

— JKD (@jkrelldavis) July 10, 2017

71. The Newest Craze

Autocorrect is quick to predict what it believes we are trying to say. Many times we just trust its suggestion that is until we get messages like this. Instead of her mom texting her friend about Nydia’s yoga it autocorrected to nudist yoga. Oops, LOL!

72. Touché

As we’ve seen slide after slide text fails come in all different forms. When this person tried to text their friend touché instead they wrote tushe! Its text fails like these that have us smiling at our phones in public places.

One time I texted my friend “tushe” and she responded with “you callin’ me an a$$?” … I meant to text touché #TextFail

— Taylor Vining (@tay_brown4) July 26, 2017

73. Well Alrighty Then

For those of us who are on our phones all the time create a shorter text language via emojis and shorter text lingo. But for those who aren’t up to date on the fast-changing lingo and which emojis mean what it can be quite funny when they use an emoji the wrong way. That is until you try correcting them and they say that they already know…

My elderly neighbor used the eggplant emoji in every text. Finally had to tell her what it meant. She said “I know what it means.” #TextFail

— Tyler Hughs (@TylerHughs) July 26, 2017

74. This Just Got Interesting

Thankfully this person was only talking to a good friend when they accidentally wrote what they were about to snack on. Instead of writing crepes, they wrote craps. Yum!

My friend and I were talking and he accidentally spelled “crepes” wrong… #TextFail pic.twitter.com/KENbZdU1V4
