In a humorous ad that both lauds the benefits of Twitter and lambastes the public for relying on it too much, the company is urging people to stop tweeting and make sure you call your mother for Mother’s Day.

As the ad’s narrator notices the man in the ad beginning to send his mother a tweet for Mother’s Day, he exclaims, “What the f*ck are you doing?” Give your mom a call!”

So yes, people, that mobile device you carry around can still make phone calls and Mother’s Day is the perfect day to dust off that’s app’s cobwebs and make the call.

Psychologists did not coin emotional intelligence until 1990, and Goleman’s book did not popularize it until 1995, so people raised between 1945 and 1975 grew up with no shared vocabulary for feelings, many still improvising one from watching, guessing, and going quiet when intimacy calls for words.
