Hilarious Thread Between A Woman And Her Son Reminded Us African Moms Are The Best At Being Extra AF

"Use a full stop where appropriate."

A viral Whatsapp conversation between an African mother and her son has reminded everyone that no one does the most quite like an African mom. 

Twitter user @Anjolaa__took screenshots of the conversation, which took place on her mother's birthday. When @Anjolaa's younger brother, Tunmise, attempted to wish his mother a happy birthday, his mother made sure to let him know exactly how she wishes to be adorned. 

  • Tunmise thought he could get away with simply wishing his mother "long life and prosperity"

  • Tunmise's mother then encouraged her son to describe his love for her with more emotion

  • When Tunmise tried to follow his mother's wishes, she hit him back with grammatical corrections

  • Finally, Tunmise's mother wrote her own birthday message to herself

  • For some, the correspondence hit too close to home

  • Although Tunmise's mother was a little over the top, many people agreed that it came from a place of love
