Bless Their Hearts, Some Boomers Still Don’t Know How To Text (20 Pics)

Baby boomers aren’t exactly renowned for their texting prowess. It took my mom a certain number of years to realize she didn’t need to sign her texts like letters (“Love, Mom”), but god love ’em, they sure do try. Anything they can do to get some extra time in with their kids, they’ll do!

We rounded up some ultra-sweet, ultra-‘oh-honey’ messages from Boomers. Let’s clutch our hearts and peruse.
