This mother's attempt to surprise her daughter at college went a little wrong

McKenna Pilling, an 18-year-old from New York, just finished up her year at the Utah State University.

And her mother, Deanna, decided to pay her a surprise visit to help her clean out her dorm.

On her arrival, Deanna, known to everyone as Momma Pilling, sent her daughter a text from the dorm room bed captioned ’Look where I am".

There was one small problem though.

McKenna tweeted this screengrab of their conversation and it went viral - just in time for Mother’s Day (in the US).

A lot of teens would have been mortified but McKenna saw the funny side, tweeting out this message on Sunday.
