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.
