A man’s account of an unforgettable experience from the early days of dating his ex-girlfriend—when a late-night message unexpectedly garnered a clever response from her mother—has made social media users laugh.

In his social media post, the man talked about how, in the early stages of their relationship, he and his then-girlfriend would often stay up late conversing on midnight phone conversations.

He claims that after his partner didn’t pick up the phone one evening, he texted her to see how she was doing, not realising that someone else would reply.

Sharing the memorable exchange, the man said, “i remember when i first started dating my ex .. and we used to do midnight calls, one day i called her she didn’t pick, so i texted her “ hey honey are you home ? pick your call” that was how her mom texted back “ honey is sleeping o, this is the bee ”

His tweet rapidly went viral, with many readers amused by the mother’s light-hearted response, in which she jokingly referred to herself as “the bee” after watching him greet her daughter as “honey.”

The incident has subsequently stirred amusement on social media, with many users sharing their own stories of mistakenly emailing or calling a partner’s parents during the early stages of their relationship.

Others complimented the mother’s sense of humour, saying her reaction was both smart and unique, while others quipped that they would have been too embarrassed to continue the conversation after hearing such a statement.

The light-hearted article continues to garner attention online, as internet users recount hilarious situations involving relationships, parents, and unexpected text message conversations.
