I see old people not knowing how to text.  My best friend's mom is like a second mom to me.  She has six kids and I'm like her seventh.  Almost everyday she sends us all mass texts saying good morning or good night, or she'll tell us good luck if she knows we have a test.  After everything though she says "lol"...all of us are always wondering what's so funny about what she's saying since lol means laugh out loud.  We've kind of made it a joke between all of us and we'll randomly say it when we're talking to her, we've never asked her why she says it though.  About a week ago her grandfather died.  We all knew he had been sick, so it wasn't a complete shock, but she sent us all a text that said "I'm so sorry to tell you all that Daddy Ray has passed away this morning, lol."  I was with my friend when we received the message and my friend messaged back saying "mom why's that funny?" her mother replied "what do you mean?" and my friend said you said "lol" and her mom said "yes, why's that bad?" and my friends said "Mom, that means laugh out loud..."  My friends mom immediately called freaking out saying that this whole time she has thought that lol meant lots of love and what was she going to do now because she sent that message to a lot of people.  My friend and I still haven't stopped laughing out loud about this.
