Funny! LOL
Instant messaging gives new meaning to LOL
Date: 3/20/2013 8:04:39 AM ( 11 y ) ... viewed 9989 times I heard this great true story on the radio from a dad who got instant messages from his 13 year old son; many of the messages from his son ended with LOL. Dad started using LOL whenever he instant messaged family and friends. Once, when he heard his sister was getting a divorce, Dad shot her off an instant message that said "we're all supporting you sis! LOL"
One day Dad was coming home from a trip out of town and messaged his son that he was on his way home from the airport; Dad ended the message with "LOL"
His son messaged him back and said, "Dad, you do know what LOL means, don't you?"
Dad responded "Sure, son, it means Lots of Love!"
When son messaged Dad back and set him straight--that LOL means Laugh Out Loud-- Dad realized with horror all of the messages he'd sent people with LOL at the end, some not so appropriate...!
After Dad made numerous apologies to people for his uneducated use of LOL, Dad and son continued to message each other. Son ended his messages to Dad with LOL, and Dad ended his messages to his son with LOL, both knowing that each one really was sending Lots of Love, each in his own way.
