Parental Communication Lovers Pillows

"It's from the children. They'd like us to let them in."

A Tit for Tat.

A family with mustaches talking on their cellphones.

Oh, no

"I've been listening to your podcast. And though I agree with your opinion on deforestation and global warming, I strongly disagree with your claim that I overcook my pasta."

"Grandpa's not tech savvy. If I want to unfriend someone, I say, 'I don't like you anymore' to their face."

"I'm going to need more minutes. I'm texting for two now!"

"Mom can really push my buttons. She installed them."

"That's in case Mum skypes me."

Bird Messaging

"Moses, it's your mother. It's the only way I could get hold of you. You never call."

"Dear Grandma, Mom told me I should write you a letter cause you don’t have a computer or cel phone like regular people. Dad said, Old people like getting letters in the mail. All this is making me so sad. Thanks a lot Grandma! I miss you. ❤️ Sofi"

Bell invents the telephone.

"No need to Whatsapp me dear, I'm right here."

"Hello mother. . ."

'Don't try so hard . . . I want a dad, not a homey!. . .'

"I understand that by the time we've hit our teens we'll have them pretty much where we want them."

"Before you know it, they'll be all grown up and moved to Brooklyn."

"When we get inside, remember to use your indoor whining and complaining voice."

Text our brother to let hm know dinner's ready...

'Now you call? Now that fierce competition has reduced long-distance to little more than a cheap, unprofitable commodity. Now you call your mother?'

'You kids stop your bleating or I'll give you something to bleat about.'

"My mom still makes all my clothes by hand."

'I would like to have a little talk with both of you!'

'This is our home's communications center.'

'Okay, Mum said no, but if we can get to Dad before she has time to brief him, we could still turn this into a yes.'

'If you have any complaints, can you come to me before posting them on Myspace?'

"Maybe you should phone your Mother, and ask her if you can watch it."

"He answers back."

"Ping me when you're done, yeah?"

"I don't see why I have to learn this stuff! It's knowledge I'll never need! As long as you're here to translate for me."

"Oh yeah... well I say my kid is better at math and social studies than your kid!"

"You kids think Tea Tree oil grows on trees?? Tea trees?? Well, you're wrong!! It's extracted from the leaves of trees in the family myrtaceae, bred in the plantations of New South Wales!!!"

"This year we're skipping the Christmas letter and going for a barrage of robocalls."

'I speak six languages fluently but I don't understand my teenager daughter.'
