"Yeah but my friends use Messenger!"

My mom uses Messenger. Acts like texting is too hard for her but Facebook Messenger isn't. Literally the only reason I have it installed on my phone, because otherwise I don't get the message when she needs something. If I could pry her away from it I could finally be done with the thing forever.
