Sometimes, parents think they’re nailing it with their surprise plans, but then reality hits, and hilarity ensues. That’s exactly what happened when one mom aimed to surprise her daughter at college but ended up in a comical mix-up instead.
18-year-old Lily Johnson, a New Yorker studying at Utah State University, was busy packing up her dorm when her mom, Karen, decided it was the perfect moment for a surprise visit. Karen made her way to the dorm, flopped onto a bed, took a selfie, and texted it to Lily with the caption, “Guess where I am!”
The catch? Karen was in the wrong dorm entirely.
Lily, sitting on her own bed, immediately recognized the blunder and replied, “Which dorm? I’m right here in mine. Please tell me you’re not in someone else’s room.” Karen quickly admitted, “OMG, I’m in the wrong dorm!”
Lily shared a screenshot of their hilarious text exchange on Twitter, and it exploded with laughter, racking up over 34,000 likes and 16,000 retweets. Both Lily and Karen were taken aback by the viral reaction. “Every time I refresh my feed, more tweets and likes appear,” Lily shared. “Now all my mom can say is, ‘I wish I’d taken a better selfie.’” At least she avoided the awkwardness of walking in on someone in their birthday suit, right?
As much as we might try to be the “cool” parent, embarrassing moments are part of the package. Whether it’s a dad who can’t figure out a GoPro or a mom who has zero chill during the “talk,” we all have that lovable, clumsy side. This mom’s misadventure is a reminder that we’re all just a misstep away from embarrassing our kids—but deep down, they appreciate our quirks. So, kudos to you, Karen! And for the students at Utah State University, maybe keep those doors locked; you never know when a confused parent might wander in.
