Funny texts from parents
Parents are funny in a chat not because they cannot use a phone. They text the way they talk: in detail, with care and without a thought for how it looks on screen. Autocorrect, voice typing and Dad’s enthusiasm do the rest.
Why chats with parents are the funniest
In a chat with Mom or Dad the laugh is almost always a warm one. The reader recognises their own parents from the first line: the signature at the end of a message, three exclamation marks, "have you eaten" at any hour. Recognition is half the joke.
The other half is that parents mean it. They are not trying to be funny, they are caring, and that is exactly why any glitch in the technology turns into a scene.
The devices these stories run on
Five moves that show up in almost every funny chat with parents.
- Autocorrect: "cat" becomes "cattle" and "Mom" signs off as "Mob"
- Voice typing that writes down everything, including the conversation in the kitchen
- Slang in the wrong place: "cringe in a good way"
- A signature at the end of every message, as if it were a letter
- Care at the worst possible moment
How to write your own
Take a real habit of your parents: how they say hello, how they sign off, what they ask first. The opening lines should be recognisable; after that, let one detail go wrong and drag the next one with it.
Put the pause before the last slip: the reader is already waiting for it, and the pause makes the waiting part of the joke. Twenty lines are enough for a minute of video.
