Twitter: Don't you dare tweet your mom for Mother's Day

A PSA from Twitter tells kids in no uncertain terms that Mom is worth more than a tweet. Yes, she's worth a call.

How about a visit? Too much?

You know how you love tweeting? You know how Twitter is the epicenter of your universe, the medium of your message?

Well, Sunday is Mother's Day and Twitter has a message for you: Don't tweet.

At least, don't even think of tweeting your mom to wish her Happy Mother's Day.

How do I know this? Well, Twitter released a PSA (yes, crises such as this need a PSA) to explain to you (boys) that momma deserves more than a tweeted hug and kiss.

To use Twitter's own words, if you are thinking of tweeting your mom to tell you that you love her: "What the f*** are you doing?"

Your mom deserves more (parenthetical thought: your mom's probably not on Twitter anyway).

But what does she deserve, at least according to Twitter? She deserves a call.

Yes, that's it. No flowers, no gifts, no surprise visit.

Your mom deserves a call, because "you don't need the Internet for everything."

It is established, therefore, that a call is more personal than Twitter.

It's touching that Twitter would have the self-awareness and self-deprecation to recognize the moments for which its own service is inappropriate.

However, perhaps it still needs to work on considering that it might be wise to send a tweet, a gift, call and make a surprise visit.

Surely, moms deserve all the love they can get.
