So. Y'all, I have totally pulled a dork mom who uses technology that she doesn't understand move.
Last night, my phone, which is pretty much about 10 years younger than Moses, freaked out on me. I kept pushing the home button to change to another app and it decided to skip that step and go straight to 'voice control.' From there, apparently it interpreted my curses (that probably would have earned a swear jar enough to take a vacation) as "facetime xxx."
Xxx happens to be a girl/friend of my son's.
(side note to the story: I have ZERO clue how her phone number much less her name associated with her phone number ended up in my phone? Some kind of voodoo iphone magic??)
I don't know jack shit about how to facetime someone. I have never done it before, have no desire to do it. I am of a certain age where unless you are tilting your head at a precise and geometrically calculated angle, it is way too scary to even contemplate. (It is about the same age at which point you stop wanting to be on top while having sex-things are just too droopy.)
Anyway. There are apparently was enough facetime connection with the boy's friend that there was cursing and a horrified face and before I finally figured out how to disconnect.
While I sat staring at my phone in horror, thinking I was going to have to fess up to the boy, he texted me asking if I had 'accidentally facetimed his friend?" OMG. Apparently, she sent a text to their friends group text asking if anyone recognized the number. Which of course the boy did, and then they ALL laughed and wish they had seen it.
According to the boy, the whole group thought it was hysterical and sent the boy a directive to teach me how to use facetime-but not too soon. It was too funny and they hope it happens again.
So y'all help a mother out, surely I am not alone in the goofiest parent moment? Share please, lessen my humiliation.
