I have become like one of those knuckleheads who used to send email chain letters to all their friends and family, KEEP READING! DO NOT IGNORE! TO ONLY MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!
Member those?
Only I’m doing it to my kids with Instagram videos.
Like this one I saw last night of a guy who went in to get a mullet cut and came out with more of a renaissance do:
The video was of a woman laughing her ass off and sharing some of the comments in response to his new cut.
My favs:
How many shillings did you pay for that cut?
Maybe they didn’t hear ye hear ye correctly?
And you just river-danced on out of there without saying a word?
What does your barber do for a living?
Tomfoolery up front knavery in the back
It had me rolling on the floor.
My two older kids have not yet opened it.
True. I haven’t asked them to FORWARD ON TO TEN OF YOUR OTHER FAVORITE PEOPLE OR YOU WILL HAVE SEVEN YEARS OF BAD LUCK!!!!
But I can’t help it when I find myself cracking up about a video just sending it right along to their DMs thinking they’ll enjoy it.
My 16-year-old daughter used to humor me and give me a heart back. Now, she doesn’t even open them. It’s gotten that bad. And trust me, it’s not a lack of her checking The Gram.
My 14-year-old son will sometimes watch them, usually not. And recognizing that Instagram Videos is one of my unconscious love languages, he has learned to use it to his advantage. He sometimes send me these videos of cute things singing, “I love you mom!” It was only recently that I realized that was his way of buttering me up for his next ask.
My 11-year-old has no phone. Therefore his only way of getting in on videos is via my device. So he’ll watch whatever the hell I think is funny just so he can drain his braincells into said coveted piece of technology. He usually laughs. He did ask to watch this renaissance mullet video with me again.
One point Mom.
All this points to the fact that I believe my humor caps out at about 11 years of age. So that’s comforting.
