When Parents Text: 15 Funniest Picks

[nggallery id=4417]

When Parents Text was launched on Tumblr in the fall of 2010 by Lauren Kaelin and Sophia Fraioli, then recent college grads.

Less than two years later, the website has received a ton of media interest -- Kaelin and Fraioli have published When Parents Text: So Much Said... So Little Understood and are in talks for a TV show.

The blog obviously resonates with its audience -- and for good reason. "Parental texting is almost always funny," says Fraioli. "We usually laugh the hardest at the complete misunderstandings that tend to take place on our site. Sometimes these misunderstandings are caused by technological fumbles, but more often then not, they highlight a generational and technological divide that exists between parents and their kids. Most of us can relate to our parents just, 'not getting it,' and that tends to be where hilarity ensues."
