Adults and technology -- classic fodder for generation-gap humor. But let’s take a step back for a minute. Your Mom might write paragraphs to her friends in the comments section on Facebook, but you take selfies. Let’s just think about that.

On a daily basis, you lift your phone in the air like a prophetic lion cub and suck in your cheeks in front of strangers to give yourself the Eastern European bone structure you definitely weren’t born with. So who’s the ridiculous one?

Hint: It’s not your Mom.

We’re saying you look dumb when you take selfies.

From fedoras to sunglasses, we gave a bunch of Moms the tools to take selfies of their own. Then we had them send the finished product to their daughters. It turns out the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

A picture is truly worth a thousand words, especially when it’s your Mom rocking Harajuku buns and batting her eyelashes for the camera.
