Parental Communicator Gifts

A Tit for Tat.

A family with mustaches talking on their cellphones.

"Mom said eat everything in moderation, so I renamed the cookie jar 'Moderation.'"

"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!"

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

'If you don't behave we'll unfreeze your stem cells!'

"I didn't know you could do worse than an F. When did they start handing out poop emojis?"

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

Teacher removes 'School Paper' sign and replaces it with 'School Blog' sign.

'It's all right with me if you go out, but you'll have to file a flight plan with your father.'

"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"

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

'You look down, son. You wanna rock about it?'

"My mom says I can start a rock band if I call it 'I Love My Mommy.' You in?"

'I'm texting my inner child.'

"Hello mother. . ."

"You were right, honey, she was tired... I only had to read six books to her tonight!"

"Dad, I'm thinking they could be tax deductable."

"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."

Teaching kids to count is fine - teaching kids what counts is best.

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?'

'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.'

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