“ My mom doesn’ t get how Snapchat works— and she is definitely desperately lost when it comes to Face Swap. She did one with her Starbucks cup and posted it to Instagram. My friends laughed for weeks.”— SYDNEY S., 21
“ When I went back to my college for alumni weekend, someone put a dildo in the hand of the campus statue of Chester Arthur. I posted a pic on FB, and my mom, not realizing there was a dildo in the photo, shared it and wrote,‘ These are the precious memories you’ ll always have!’”— KATIE B., 24

“ My mother thought Twitter was just direct messages, so her timeline is full of messages she meant to be private between her and her friends. She’ ll tweet about her candid feelings about people she knows or her job— all the things you’ d usually DM. And yet she gets retweets!”— ELISA W., 21
“ Right after a family member passed away, my mom was writing a really sentimental post on Facebook. She thought that LOL stood for‘ lots of love,’ so she ended the post with LOL. I had to explain to her that LOL means‘ laugh out loud.’”— COURTNEY W., 22
“ My mom posted this status to Facebook:‘ I just spent the last 15 minutes trying to attach my fake eyelash with vaginal antifungal cream … same size white tube in my makeup drawer as my eyelash adhesive. Oops, I guess I really need glasses.’”— MADDY L., 23
“ My mom is a social-media butterfly, and lately, she’ s taken to posting hideously embarrassing nude baby pics of me on Twitter, Snapchat, and Insta. She also insists that I do a full-blown photo shoot with her to get her a new profile pic every time she joins a new platform. She’ s an early adopter!”— STEPHANIE M., 25
“ I’ m friends online with my boss and a lot of my colleagues, so I prefer to steer clear of putting any inappropriate pictures on social media. I just recently logged on and saw that my mom posted a video of me doing shots. Thanks, Mom.”
