MamaGram

If you follow Bev on Instagram, you saw a post this week of MamaG setting up Instagram on her iPad. And by, “MamaG setting up Instagram on her iPad,” I mean, “MamaG rapid firing questions at Bev about how to set up Instagram on her iPad.”

Highlights include her following me into the bathroom, and asking me questions while I was sitting on the toilet. Most of the questions had to do with what happens when she “sends” an Instagram. I tried to tell her that you don’t “send” an Instagram (even though you now can- that’s not beginner level), but then I did “send” her an Insta message from the bathroom, which she somehow figured out how to answer.

Another favorite moment was when she was asking me if she followed _____, would he be able to “see that” (which I think means know that she followed him)…. so I told her he could see her right now. (she didn’t believe me)

My absolute favorite moment, though, was when we were in the initial setup process, and Insta asked if she wanted to follow people who are already in her contacts or something along those lines, and shortly after, came up with some suggestions for her to follow. The suggestions were all verified accounts, and she slowly reads down the list…. “Nike, no. Starbucks, no. Justin Timberlake? He’s not in my contacts!”

So, there you have it. MamaG has Instagram, and she even kind of knows how to use it, as I woke up this morning to see that she has added a profile picture! It’s of Smoke and her on a tractor, just in case you’re wondering.

Before we know it, she’ll be sliding into Justin Timberlake’s DMs.
