Imagine raising someone, paying for everything, driving them everywhere, and then finding out they’ve posted your text messages online because you don’t understand how your phone works. Seems a little ungrateful or rude at first. But, depending on the text, I’d probably laugh too.

These funny parents deserve a little recognition. Some clearly know how to land a joke. Others are minding their business and just going about their day, completely unaware that whatever they’re doing is about to become the funniest thing the family brings up at the dinner table.

Either way, I think they’ve earned a laugh. And probably a phone call
