When sending your child off to college, it’s easy to find yourself scrolling through their social media, raising an eyebrow at their life choices. But one set of incredibly cool parents decided to take a different approach: they opted for some light-hearted trolling instead!
Meet Sarah Thompson
Sarah is a student at a fashion school in New York, who is dating a guy named Jake that her parents have yet to meet. Like many millennials, Sarah and Jake are fully immersed in the selfie culture. In celebration of their budding romance, they put together a collage of goofy selfies to share online. When Sarah’s parents, Linda and Mark, caught wind of this, they couldn’t resist the urge to join in the fun by creating their very own silly selfie collage!
Going Viral
Their playful photos took Twitter by storm, racking up over 40,000 retweets! Sarah, overwhelmed by the viral response, shared her disbelief on social media, simply tweeting, “Whoa!” She admitted to BuzzFeed that while she wasn’t shocked by her parents’ antics—they love to tease her—she was taken aback by the massive reaction to their photos, which she thought weren’t all that funny.
A Supportive Relationship
As reported by Cosmo, Linda and Mark have been happily married for 30 years, showcasing a fantastic relationship filled with support and understanding for their adult daughter. While college students are technically adults, many parents still hover over their kids, scrutinizing their friends, romantic interests, and life choices. Back when I was in college, my parents would have bombarded me with countless questions instead of sending me hilarious selfies.
The Importance of Humor in Parenting
If you want to maintain a close-knit bond with your children as they transition into adulthood, injecting a bit of humor into your relationship can work wonders. Sarah may not see her parents as the comedic geniuses they are, but honestly, they should consider conducting parenting workshops! They’ve certainly mastered the art of raising kids and could probably teach us a thing or two about taking a selfie as well.
