In an amusing twist on family dynamics, a mother-daughter text exchange has taken the internet by storm, highlighting the undeniable truth that the family pet often reigns supreme in a parent’s affections. Emily Parker from Los Angeles learned this lesson the hard way when she accidentally consumed her cat’s beloved ice cream.
Yes, you read that correctly. The family’s 17-year-old feline, Bella, adores vanilla ice cream, and as the queen of the household, she enjoys a scoop every night before bedtime. Emily revealed to Buzzfeed that Bella is “treated like royalty,” so chaos ensued when the ice cream meant for Bella vanished.
Emily’s mom, Linda, and Bella share a nightly tradition, so when they went to retrieve the treat and found it gone, Linda sent some wildly entertaining texts to her daughter. One of the first messages read, “…sad…” which instantly signaled trouble. Emily had no clue that the ice cream in the freezer was strictly off-limits. Luckily, they had some spare popsicles for the kitty diva.
However, judging by Bella’s unimpressed expression in a follow-up photo demanding her ice cream, it seemed the backup treat just wouldn’t cut it. Emily attempted to reason with her mom, explaining that Bella was just a cat, but the family would not have it.
Their joking relationship took a hilarious turn, and Emily decided to share the entire text conversation on Twitter. “If you could hear us read those texts aloud, you’d probably laugh even more,” she commented. The ice cream incident quickly gained traction online as many can relate to the truth that our pets often receive the most love. Other pet owners joined in, sharing stories of how their parents’ affection for their furry friends always takes precedence.
It’s no surprise that Linda and Bella have a special nightly ritual—they seem to share a unique bond. After all, Bella has lived for almost two decades and has certainly earned every scoop of ice cream she can get. In Emily’s home, her mom frequently claimed the cat as her favorite child, often saying, “She never talks back.”
To make amends, Emily plans to buy her mom and Bella at least a carton of vanilla ice cream. Update: Late last night, word came in that Bella finally got her treat. Check out the video of her enjoying it below.
