2. You start to wonder who even told them about the app:

3. Then you remember you were actually the one that downloaded it for them:

4. When your parents ask you if you’ve seen their follow notification:

Er…I’m not sure…

5. You when they tell you to follow them back:

6. You start to think of a good excuse not to:

But you can’t come up with one.

8. Then they start to lecture you on your choice of profile picture:

9. And send you a million and one broadcast messages:

10. And every two minutes they’re trying to video call:

11. They never get the hang of using the app:

12. So they’re constantly calling you for help:

13. And sending either indecipherable or inappropriate messages:
