Embarrassing Messages Kids Accidentally Sent Their Parents
In the age of technology, people communicate mostly through text. Whether you’re using WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or plain old SMS, you probably do most of your communication with friends and family via your phone screen. The only issue with that is once a message is sent there’s no taking it back. Nowadays a lot of services have built in ways to delete messages sent accidentally, but that wasn’t always the case! Sometimes you end up sending a text message to the wrong person. And the worst people to rope into your incriminating text conversations are your parents.
Here are some of the most embarrassing and shocking messages that were sent between parents and kids!
29. Please Let’s Never Speak of this Again
This incredibly embarrassing scenario was shared on Twitter by this boy’s sister. Apparently he sent what he thought was a “sexy” photo to his mom! Clearly his mom was not loving his little photo shoot.
And Zachary over here seems more than a little embarrassed, he’s hoping that his mom will just forget all about this mistake and move on.
29. Please Let’s Never Speak of this Again
But unfortunately for Zachary, his mom expressed herself loud and clear! Not only that, but she wants to know who exactly this photo was intended for in the first place.
Poor Zach, he just wants to forget this ever happened!
28. Haha, I’m So High Right Now!
Smoking the green stuff is one thing that many parents do not approve of. However, there are still young adults who dabble in it, but because of their parents disapproval, they keep this activity a total secret.
Sometimes things end up slipping, and in this case, the guy almost lets the cat out of the bag!
28. Haha, I’m So High Right Now!
The text was originally intended for one of his friends, but his finger must have slipped.
Thankfully for him, he was able to make a quick save with the excuse that he was talking about being high…up in a tree. Nice save there!
27. Mom’s Gonna Put a Deadbolt on Your Window
Parents should be well aware that once their kids start to get a little older they’ll be drawn to some crazy party behavior. They might try to tame that by enforcing curfews and house rules, but sometimes there’s just no stopping them.
I can only imagine what went down at this girl’s party, all we know is that someone did a keg stand!
27. Mom’s Gonna Put a Deadbolt on Your Window
It certainly took her a while to figure out who exactly she was texting! But by that point, it was too late and she was totally busted.
Her mom is probably going to dead bolt the windows, too!
26. You’re in for a Long Talk when You Get Home
This young person wrote up this pretty suspicious looking message and sent it right away without even realizing who they sent it to.
If they had only taken an extra moment to check maybe they would have been in the clear, but now their mom knows all about what they’ve been up to.
26. You’re in for a Long Talk when You Get Home
Hopefully, their mom can give them a talk about safe sex. A pretty awkward way to go about it, I’m sure there could have been a better time to bring it up!
Well, all lessons must be learned sometime, and I guess this was the time for them!
25. Their Mom Will Never Eat McDonald’s Again
Sometimes when you send a photo via text you have to be extra super duper careful about who you’re ACTUALLY sending it to.
This person definitely did not do a double take before hitting send. And she ended up sending this incredibly weird Ronald McDonald photo to their “Life Giver”.
Pretty hilarious title for your mom’s phone contact, by the way.
25. Their Mom Will Never Eat McDonald’s Again
At least they seem to be genuinely sorry for exposing their mom to this weird looking picture.
Hopefully, his mom will be able to get some sleep at night, and won’t actually be scarred for life.
24. Regina, You Sent that to Your Dad!
Regina was most likely very excited to show off her new tattoo to her boyfriend. It must have been her unlucky day because this compromising photo was sent directly to her dad.
How incredibly awkward! If only the tattoo had been on her wrist or her ankle, that might’ve made the situation at least a bit better.
24. Regina, You Sent that to Your Dad!
Looks like dad was unaware that his daughter was out getting tattoos, hopefully, he doesn’t disapprove too much.
Regina seems to be absolutely mortified that she sent out this photo to her dad of all people!
23. Her Dad is Not Having that Attitude
Everyone gets mad at their parents once in a while, and sometimes when that happens we can call them names and say things that we wouldn’t normally say.
Usually, when we want to vent about our parents we do it to a friend or a sibling, not to our actual parent.
This person, unfortunately, ended up accidentally directing their rage directly at their dad.
23. Her Dad is Not Having that Attitude
Oof, that’s a pretty rough message to have to explain. Looks like dad isn’t having any of her attitudes, and he’s giving her the attitude right back!
Hopefully, they’ll be able to work things out.
22. Mom, Do You Know What LOL Stands For?
Sending a message to the wrong person isn’t the only mistake technologically challenged parents can make.
Since they were never raised with the text slang that teenagers use, sometimes there’s a bit of a learning curve. And during that learning process, they can make some incredibly embarrassing faux pas.
22. Mom, Do You Know What LOL Stands For?
I can only imagine how embarrassed that mother was when she realized she had sent a “LOL” at the end of a somber message to the entire family.
Hopefully, people will understand her intentions and not think she was making light of death in the family.
21. She Didn’t Mean to Call Her Mom That!
Teens and young adults have their own nicknames and slang they use with their friends. However, most people wouldn’t ever dare to use that kind of slang with their parents.
Looks like Jasper here was just ending a conversation with his mom when he added a text where he called his mom, well, you can only imagine.
21. She Didn’t Mean to Call Her Mom That!
No wonder his mom reacted the way that she did! Luckily he was able to clarify what exactly he meant right away, and hopefully, he mom believed him.
Otherwise, I can imagine he would be grounded for at least two months.
20. Mom Needs to Brush Up on her Spanish
This mom just wanted to reach out to her kid for a little bit of technical advice. But unfortunately, she ended up sending two very embarrassing messages, and in all capital letters too!
This is definitely the kind of mix up that you share online, it’s just too funny not to.
20. Mom Needs to Brush Up on her Spanish
Not only did she learn how to delete a voicemail, but she was also able to get a quick little Spanish lesson. She should be proud to have such a knowledgeable child.
Still, the screenshot of this text conversation will never not be funny.
19. Good Thing Your Mom Doesn’t Look Too Closely at Your Photos
These boys definitely got lucky when their mom didn’t look at this photo too closely. If she had, she may have noticed their stash of marijuana laying on the carpet next to them!
Maybe they find it conducive to building that TV stand? Who knows.
19. Good Thing Your Mom Doesn’t Look Too Closely at Your Photos
Next time they take photos that they want to share with their mom they’ll give it a once over before sending. Just gotta clear everything in the background, guys!
You should be okay from now on, consider yourselves lucky that your mom isn’t the most perceptive parent out there!
18. My Parents are Getting Divorced?!
Autocorrect strikes again! This kid probably went through a whole wave of terrible emotions before they realized that their mom just made a terrible mistake.
Mom probably felt pretty bad about that mistake, not to mention she was probably pretty confused.
Like I said before, parents aren’t the most technologically inclined.
18. My Parents are Getting Divorced?!
Who knows what other kind of typing error this mom has had to deal with. It’s a good thing her daughter reacted that way, now she’ll be more aware of these kinds of auto correct mistakes in the future.
17. Get Ready for the “Birds and the Bees” Talk
This mom probably had a good laugh when she realized she had received this message by accident. Clearly her daughter was beginning to get flirty with one of her friends, but sent this message to her mother by mistake!
It’s a good thing her mom has a good sense of humor.
17. Get Ready for the “Birds and the Bees” Talk
Though it does look like she might be getting the birds and the bees talk pretty soon, it seems like the mom realized that it would be the right time.
She should probably also have a talk to her about checking who she’s sending her messages to!
16. The Smoothest Accidental Outing
Looks like this accidental text actually had a happy ending, what a nice twist!
This person was expressing their frustration at the fact they have not been able to come out to their parents, except in doing that he actually ended up coming out to his mom!
16. The Smoothest Accidental Outing
She took it super well and even laid on some of that classic mom embarrassment.
It seems like one of the smoothest accidental coming outs ever, this kid really has a sweet mom. Their relationship is probably a lot better off now that he no longer needs to keep secrets from her.
15. Good Thing Her Dad has a Sense of Humour!
This girl just wanted to send out a flirty text to her boyfriend, but unfortunately, she sent it to the worst person possible, her dad! Seems like he realized the mistake right away and laughed it off, definitely sparing his daughter the embarrassment of the situation.
That’s super cool of his dad to make the situation into a joke, otherwise, it could have been seriously embarrassing.
15. Good Thing Her Dad has a Sense of Humour!
Now his daughter will probably always double check who she is sending her flirty messages too. Good thing this mistake happened with someone that didn’t make her feel bad.
Everyone makes mistakes, after all.
14. Autocorrect Strikes Again!
Now, this has gotta be the most embarrassing and awkward autocorrect mistake ever. All Josh’s mom wanted to do was let him know not to shake his soda, which would result in a huge mess.
Unfortunately, her phone’s autocorrect changed the word into something way worse.
14. Autocorrect Strikes Again!
Looks like Josh just laughed it off, I’m sure he probably showed it to his friends during lunch so they could get a chuckle out of it as well.
I’m beginning to think that parents need to turn off the auto correct on their phones.
13. Mom, What Exactly IS Your Job Again?
This kid was probably pretty shocked when they got this bizarre message from their mom.
All they wanted to do was watch a series in the evening with their mom, and then they had to read the last message anyone wants to get from their mother!
13. Mom, What Exactly IS Your Job Again?
Good thing she pointed out this autocorrect error to their mom right away, otherwise who knows who else she may have sent that message to! She probably would have had a LOT of explaining to do.
Good thing she clarified to her kid what she does and doesn’t do at work, I’m sure there was a lot of confusion there.
12. Be Sure to Wear Gloves, Honey!
Katie apparently had a falling out with one of her friends and wanted to blow off some steam and get out her aggression. She accidentally ended up sending a message about wanting to stab someone with a rusty fork to her dad!
Looks like her dad is the kind of parent who is always in their kid’s corner because he seemed to go along with it!
12. Be Sure to Wear Gloves, Honey!
As Katie pointed out, he had no idea who exactly she was angry at, but still gave her that practical advice anyway.
Seems like a cool dad with a great sense of humor (we hope!)
11. You Better Answer Your Phone, Young Lady
This girl wanted to enthuse about her big night with a guy named Kyle, she meant to send the message to her friend Dani, but accidentally sent it to her father!
And by the looks of his reply to her accidental message, he isn’t taking it particularly well.
11. You Better Answer Your Phone, Young Lady
Looks like she was hoping her dad would ignore the message and move on, but no such luck was had!
She’s going to have to answer her phone and probably answer a few questions about who exactly this “Kyle” guy is.
I’m sure your dad will warm up to him, don’t worry.
10. Better Switch Over to a Different Brand
I’m absolutely sure that this father nearly got a heart attack after he received this message from his daughter.
Unfortunately for him, she only gave half an explanation when she answered his frantic reply. I guess she didn’t consider that “Prego” can mean something other than the pasta sauce brand!
10. Better Switch Over to a Different Brand
Looks like she figured it out eventually though, now her dad can breathe a little bit easier. I can imagine this was a total shock for him, and his daughter probably feels pretty sheeping about the mistake.
Maybe next time pick up a different brand of pasta sauce?
9. Prepare Your Own Bowl of Cheerios!
I don’t think anyone can guess who exactly this person was messaging when they sent out this request for Cheerios.
Seems like a pretty weird way to use slang, not to mention, why can’t they get off their lazy butt and make their own bowl of cereal??
9. Prepare Your Own Bowl of Cheerios!
Anyhow, it looks like their Momma got the message by mistake. And I don’t know about you, but I certainly would never make a request with THAT phrasing to my mother!
Seems like this person’s mom is pretty taken aback, too.
They better explain to her that they sent the message by mistake, and fast!
8. Accidentally Sending Dad Your Memes
Everyone likes saving up the best memes on their smartphones and sharing them with friends. Who among us has not come across a hilarious photo and wanted to share the laughter with the people they love?
Well, Sid over here apparently needs to pay better attention to who he’s sending his photos too.
8. Accidentally Sending Dad Your Memes
Thankfully it wasn’t too embarrassing, but now he’s going to have to explain to his dad what exactly a “Salty B” is. I’m sure his dad is going to have a lot of questions!
And of course, he should clarify that he wasn’t trying to call his dad a “Salty B”.
7. What Does Mom Think of Your Celebrity Crush?
Everyone has celebrity crushes that they love to gush about. This girl over here is clearly absolutely gaga over this dude with the glasses over her, and I gotta admit, he does look like he takes care of himself!
Maybe she didn’t want to share this information with her mom, but it’s too late for that now.
7. What Does Mom Think of Your Celebrity Crush?
Her mom is probably going to be pretty confused and asks why she’s calling this man, who is clearly not her father, “daddy”.
That’s going to be a pretty uncomfortable conversation to have with her mom, I don’t envy her!
6. Got 2 Grams of $40?
At first glance, it would appear that Austin here was trying to set up a marijuana deal and sent this message to his mom by mistake.
But what you might not know is that this was actually part of a Twitter challenge, where people were encouraged to send this suspicious message to their parents and then write “sorry ignore that txt”.
6. Got 2 Grams of $40?
But it looks like his mom took the bait, hook line and sinker. And she is not amused!
She’s about to drive Austin to get a drug test ASAP! I bet he’s regretting taking part in this challenge.
5. That’s Pretty Harsh of You, Mom
Now, this is an interesting twist on the accidental message! This person got what they thought was a loving and affectionate message from their mom. Seems like they were pretty happy to receive such a nice message, and they replied back in turn.
Surprisingly, their mom clarified that the message was not meant for them!
5. That’s Pretty Harsh of You, Mom
Kind of harsh, mom. Surely they would have not thought a message like “Love you, kiddo!” was not too out of the ordinary for a mom to send. And this begs the question, who exactly was this text meant for??
4. Caught in a Web of Lies
This seems like a pretty suspicious message for a daughter to send to her mom. She tried to backpedal on her previous message, and surprisingly her mom actually believed her.
But it looks like this daughter isn’t very good at sending texts to the right people, because she totally blew her cover in her third message.
4. Caught in a Web of Lies
Now she’s definitely in some hot water. And I don’t think there are any more explanations she can give to cover her tracks at this point!
She’s just going to have to face the music, hopefully, her mom will deal with it well.
3. Laughing at the Auto Correct
This poor kid just wanted to go to their mom for some help while they were sick, most likely with a cold. Their mom was going to suggest one of the most common ways to treat cold ailments, Vicks.
Unfortunately, she had a terrible autocorrect mistake happen right as she sent the message.
3. Laughing at the Auto Correct
She noticed the error right away and sent a follow up text with the correction. Looks like her kid got a pretty good laugh out of the mistake, even though mom still seems to be a little embarrassed about it.
2. You Should Really Get Liposuction
This parent and child were clearly having some kind of conversation about water purification. When mom or dad answered that they only use bottled water, their kid just wanted to offer the advice of getting a liquid tester. Clearly they are the “better safe than sorry” type.
But before they could notice their mistake, they sent a message telling them to get liposuction!
2. You Should Really Get Liposuction
A pretty insulting message to get from your child, but it looks like the parent didn’t even notice what they were talking about.
Their kid corrected the mistake right away, but it seemed to have gone right over their parent’s head.
1. Parents Need to Use Google More for Text Slang
Another case of a parent not quite understanding what text abbreviations stand for. This kid wanted to share the amazing news with their mom that they had just gotten a great grade in chemistry. Their mom responded in turn with “WTF, well done!”
WTF indeed seems like a pretty out of proportion response to receiving an A!
1. Parents Need to Use Google More for Text Slang
But in the end, it looks like their mom just didn’t quite understand what it stands for. She was under the impression that it was shorthand for “Well That’s Fantastic”.
Honestly, I have no idea why she would have assumed that.
Parents need to look these things up first before using them blindly!
