An American mother who tragically misunderstood a slang term for a sex act has left her grown daughter — and the internet — in stitches.
A 23-year-old Boston woman named Grace Lawlor was shocked and confused when she received a very rude text from her mom Janine, 56, this week, and quickly posted the funny exchange on Twitter to share with her followers.
In the messages, Grace’s mom warns her to be ‘careful’ outside because, as she explains, it’s ‘a** eating season’.
‘Be careful when you leave in the morning,’ she wrote. ‘It’s a** eating season!!’
Grace seemed to know immediately that her mother did not know what the term ‘a** eating’ actually meant — it’s a sex act — but she still needed her mom to spell out what it was she thought she was saying.
‘Mom what do you think a** eating means?’ she replied.
‘There’s frost on the deck!’ her mom wrote back innocently. ‘Slippery!!!!! You’ll fall and eat a**.’
That’s when Grace realized her mom may have been mixing up the saying ‘eating s***’ — which is slang for falling — and the idea of falling on one’s butt.
Instead of immediately correcting her, Grace replied: ‘Who told you that? Who are you hanging out with?’
In fact, Grace never explicitly explained what the phrase really means, instead simply telling her mom it was ‘something sexual’.
‘I didn’t say what, but that she shouldn’t say it and definitely should not look it up,’ Grace told Mashable.
She then took a screengrab of the conversation and posted it on Twitter with the caption: ‘WHO DID THIS TO MY INNOCENT MOTHER.’
In less than two days, it’s gone viral, racking up nearly 100,000 retweets and over 374,000 likes.
