What could be more perplexing – receiving an envelope filled with random, snipped-out newspaper articles, or finding a lifeless scorpion inside? Someone is about to discover the answer.
The lingo
Grandma is surprisingly in tune with modern slang. Be careful, or she might start inventing her own acronyms. ‘CYG’ – it stands for ‘call your grandma.
That’s a nice story
Wow, grandma went off track quite fast with that birthday message. But regardless, I hope you had a wonderful day!
That’s not how you Google
Imagine if everyone had access to your Google search history. Well, Grandma seems to be in that situation. She appears to be dealing with pet stain problems, and we hope she figures out both how to clean them and the difference between sending a text and performing a search.
Voluntary OIT guy
It’s really kind to offer Grandma help with her new iPhone. Just be prepared that she’ll likely need your assistance frequently, that is, if she can figure out how to reach out for help.
That escalated quickly
Once Grandma gets the hang of texting, brace yourself for detailed accounts of her entire day. Also, be prepared for her to start nudging you about having a baby through text messages.
She put it in writing
Texting with grandma can be risky; it might even lead to getting disowned. Don’t people realize the danger of offending her in a way that leaves a permanent record, which she can use to guilt-trip you indefinitely? Such novices.
She’s everywhere
If you believe Grandma has more important things to do than monitor all your social media profiles, so she can judge, worry, and then put her concerns into words, you might want to reconsider. Keep this in mind the next time you’re about to post something online.
Chill grandma
It’s amusing that Grandma felt the need to demonstrate how cool she is with a photo. But hey, if she can text and take selfies, she’s definitely got some skills!
The Bieber fish
If you miss hearing Grandma and Grandpa discuss their confusion about popular culture, don’t fret. Grandma will gladly relay the entire conversation to you via text. Also, it appears she thinks quite a few people are, in her view, not very smart.
Just go set out the lasagna
Somebody really needs to teach Grandma how to use the ‘back’ button, so she sends texts to the correct person. Alternatively, inventing a phone that can predict whom you’re trying to text based on your message would be quite helpful.
Thumbs up
Alright, to be fair, those emojis are really small and it can be challenging to tell which one you’re selecting. Or, it’s possible that Grandma is secretly trying to give you the middle finger.
Good opener
Gosh, Grandma, way to dampen the spirits. It’s unclear if she’s equally worried about how classes are going as she is about her brother’s passing, or if she just wanted to confirm her grandchild’s attention before sharing such heavy news.
Good thing
Engaging in gossip over text is always risky, and it’s not just grandmas who accidentally send messages to the wrong person. Fortunately, in this case, a mishap was narrowly avoided.
Then what are you holding?
To be fair, she might be using an iPad. However, the situation does seem a bit suspicious.
Cannot handle your reply
We’re also struggling to process this response, but for an entirely different reason. Is Grandma trolling the spammers, or is she just really eager to share photos of her dog?
LOL
Alright, the deal with online acronyms is that there’s a general consensus on their meanings. Grandma can’t just start inventing her own interpretations.
I saw it on TV
Well, if Grandma saw it on TV, it must be accurate, right? After all, she’s just trying to keep you safe.
We don’t want to know the backstory
It’s possible that Grandma either has a virus on her device, or she’s been looking up things you might not want to know about. It’s probably best not to inquire further.
Call me on my printer
Just because it’s an electronic device doesn’t mean it’s capable of everything, Grandma. But sure, go ahead and give me your printer’s phone number.
Run-on
Before Grandma reaches for the White-Out, perhaps someone should introduce her to the delete button. She’ll likely be relieved to discover that she doesn’t have to send every message she types.
She got poked
It seems Grandma either mistakes you for Google or she needs to learn how to use it. Then again, perhaps she believes you’ll provide a more accurate answer than the internet. Just be sure to explain to her that there’s no need to be scandalized by a ‘poke’ if it doesn’t happen in real life.
Just keep going
Does Grandma really expect you to read all of that and try to make sense of it? Yes, she does. Once again, it’s time to introduce her to that little back button with the X on it. It’s going to be her best friend. And yours too.
Thanks for the reminder
Grandmas often think of you at various times throughout the day. And sometimes, they choose very peculiar ways to let you know.
Selfie skills
Well, technically, it is a selfie, so she’s not incorrect. However, it’s puzzling why she believes anyone needs to see this particular photo.
Please add glop
Grandma is quite serious about her cooking if she’s checking your meal preferences before your arrival. Yet, she’s not so serious as to actually give a name to your ‘glop’
She’s still alive alright
Alive and screaming – to be fair, capital letters are much easier to see. On the other hand, it makes you wonder how often you need to check in before receiving a guilt trip. Sheesh.
A little Nazi trivia for your birthday
On this day in history, not only were you born, but it also marks the day Hitler came to power. Quite the coincidence, isn’t it? Regardless, we really hope that sweater fits you well.
Thinking of you
How thoughtful is that? Grandma will be reminded of you every time she uses the toilet.
Don’t laugh
Indeed, those emojis are quite difficult to make out. Also, one wonders if Grandma understands that text messages are generally more private than Facebook messages.
Happy conception day
It seems Grandma was reflecting on the day you were conceived. Or, she’s just very determined not to forget to wish you a happy birthday. Let’s hope it’s the latter.
Questions left unasked
Grandma is set on being efficient by updating you on everything all at once. However, we’re still curious about those puppies.
That’s dope
We value the attempt to use modern slang, but it’s also important to learn how to use it correctly. Better luck next time, Grandma.
Not beautiful enough
Grandma wants you to revert your profile photo to one that she prefers. It seems she doesn’t quite understand the concept of personal choice.
Where do you buy emojis?
It might be more effective to show Grandma where to find her emojis in person next time you see her, rather than trying to explain it over text. However, be warned, once she starts using them, she might not stop.
Setting the bar low
It seems Grandma has decided to lower her expectations as a way to avoid disappointment. On the bright side, this approach gives her more reasons to be proud of you.
Someone cut her off
It looks like Grandma’s margaritas might have been a bit too potent. Hopefully, she had a designated driver!
Not a fan
What’s with grandmas and their tendency to judge people by their appearance? We find Lorde really beautiful, but it seems Grandma thinks she should spruce up a bit.
You’re not alone, grandma
Is Grandma under the impression that her phone has its own mind, or does she believe it can read her thoughts? Regardless, you’ll have an interesting time explaining autocorrect to her. It might be a good idea to let her know that she can turn it off.
Truth
True, everyone struggles with their new phones initially. But this grandma has managed to master it enough to send back a suitable reply – and that’s really a significant part of the challenge.
Jesus doesn’t judge
What if we explained to Grandma that a person’s workmanship is unrelated to their religion? Do you think she would have a strong reaction?
