Is your mom on Twitter?

Hi, I'm Kimra, and my mom is on Twitter.

Is your mom on Twitter?

My mom joined Twitter to follow me

and the goings-on of her granddaughter.

My mom is on Twitter and has an awesome account.

You should follow my mom. [laughs]

Her username is bebopperbebop.

...Yeah, for real.

My mom called me after work one day

and asked me how the minestrone soup was for lunch.

Apparently she follows me and my coworkers

and knows what I eat.

And so, my mom created a Twitter account

and actually tweeted on behalf of the dog

and it's been a source of a lot of laughs

and conversation since then.

Having my mom be on Twitter has actually been totally awesome.

Lots of people have stories about their parents getting online

and posting embarrassing things

or not really understanding how it works,

and I think those stories are really funny, but my story's different.

[audio from laptop] It makes me feel like I'm connected

and I enjoy that, and that's how I got involved using Twitter

and why I still use it now.

Turns out that she actually tweets about travel,

she tweets about Madmen, she tweets about her dinner,

she basically tweets about exactly the same things I tweet about.

It was a way to stay in touch and I thought that

she would be entertained by some things so then I just thought,

you know, why not?

- They took a trip to Spain last year, she and my dad,
- [onscreen tweet] Boarding. To Espana! Still hasn't sunk in.

and it was actually really great for me to follow because they're in Spain,

- I'm seeing her posting about, "Oh, we got tickets for a bullfight"...
- [onscreen] Off to the bullfights. Ole!

and then I'm seeing her posting, "I would rather be a flamenco dancer than a bullfighter."

and it's all of these little funny hundred-and-forty character travel logs.

And I don't know that I would have gotten that kind of thing about one of her vacations,

especially not while it was happening, before Twitter.

My dad just doesn't understand any of this,

but I think he's a little bit jealous of how much she knows about

what I'm doing.

I sometimes see when Kimra posts things that are interesting

that I like to think that we're having a conversation.

Using Twitter has definitely brought us closer together, and

I get to hear a lot more about her life and the details of what she does all day

than I ever would have known before Twitter.

Happy Mother's Day. #mymomtweets

Does she use Twitter?

She does, she actually, oh my God,

she's constantly messaging people at my office, not me,

and telling them, "Tell Bizi I love him!"

- That's sweet!
- And they come over, and I'm like,

Mom, you can call me and tell me,

you don't need to message the other guys in the office.

[Conan] Yeah, well some people have difficulty telling, you know.

Yeah, sometimes there's a thing.

I'd kill for a tweet like that from my parents.

Aww. [laughter]

Well, anyway, back to your complaints...
