Today, my estranged mother texted me saying, "Gran died, LOL." My grandmother and I were fairly close, so I was shocked and disgusted. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and asked if she knew what "LOL" meant. She did. FML

Today, I sent a love letter I'd written meant for my crush to a friend so she could evaluate my prose before I actually sent it to him. For some reason, my emotions got the best of me, and I mistakenly CC'd my mom. She replied with three crying-with-laughter emojis. FML

Today, my mom wished her best friend a Happy Birthday on Facebook. Her best friend died this year. Oh, did I mention that it’s also my birthday? FML

Today, I texted my friend and asked her what her sad status on Facebook was about. She texted me back, saying her step-mother had passed away. I tried to reply with "awwh" but my phone autocorrected it to "ahaha." FML

Today, I opened my lunch in front of my friends at university. I had a note in my lunch from my mother that said "Have a good day sweetie! - Love mom". I wrote that note, and put it in my lunch to impress my friends. FML

Ummm... "Lol" can definitely mean "lots of love". Before it became really popular as "laugh out loud", that's why people generally used it.

I agree that lol may stand for lots of love. But then what's important is how the friend perceive lol as. It might not be wrong, but it can be wronged.

that's unfortunate, but i'm guessing jen probably knows your mom well enough to figure this one out.

EPPPIIIICCCC FAAAAAIIIILLLLL!!!!!!!!!! But if she's your best friend, she probably knows that your Mom knows absolutely jack sh*t about the internet and it's abbreviations, so it's ok.

Haha. My Aunt thinks LOL stands for Lots Of Love too. She used to say "Bye LOL" When she and I ended our text convos and I'm thinking to myself "I don't find 'bye' very funny." I finally asked her why she said LOL after she said bye all the time and she said "I can't love my niece?" And then I figued it out. Wasn't a big deal. We LOL'ed about it. :]
