Grandmothers have no time for sleeping in.

Grandmothers have no time for sleeping in, especially on their birthday.

Twitter user dae_gore shared an absolutely savage text from his grandmother on Tuesday, which was apparently her birthday.

"Happy birthday to my self[sic] hadn't heard from my grandson thanks," the text read.

Take a look at the timestamp on that text message. Yes, grandma texted Dae at 7:03 a.m.

"My grandma ain’t give nobody time to wake up good and brush they teeth this morning," he wrote along with the screeenshot.

Like any good grandson, Dae says he called and texted his grandma after he got up, but he didn't get an immediate reply.

However, 12 hours later, grandma finally answered, but Dae says she acted like she didn't know who he was until he mentioned taking her out to dinner next time he went home.

Set an alarm, folks. Grandmas get up early, and they deserve their happy birthdays.
