Lisa Kudrow wants you to know that she's chill about her son going away to college. Totally, totally chill.

OK, alright, maybe she's not 100% chill.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kudrow spoke about her own school days before moving on to talk about her 19-year-old son. He's currently away at college, and Kimmel wanted to know how she was handling it.

"I'm doing... well," laughs Kudrow. "I think I'm handling it really well... and, you know, like a mature adult... happy that our son is away... and independent..."

The best bit? The first question she asked her son after his friends surprised him by decorating his room while he was away on winter break.

"Me being me," says Kudrow, "I said: 'So was that a nice thing or were they making fun of you?! What did they put up?'"

Luckily it was a nice thing, and the thing they put up was Porg pictures. Everybody likes those.
