- Lin Manuel-Miranda’s mother Luz Towns-Miranda tried to ask him if he was home
- Musical creator was actually more than 3,000 miles away from New York house
- Social media users chimed in with their own parents’ struggles with technology
The Hamilton writer’s mother has provoked a hilarious response on Twitter after accidentally tweeting her son to ask if he was home – when he was actually more than 3,000 miles away.
Lin Manuel-Miranda’s mother, Luz Towns-Miranda, was apparently trying to ask her son if he had returned to New York when she tweeted him instead.
Mr Manuel-Miranda shared the tweet with his 2.4million followers, adding: ‘Mom, I’m in Wales, move your Twitter app like three screens over from your text app.’
The hip-hop musical star is in Wales at the moment shooting a new TV series based on Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials.
The relatable parent fail has racked up more than 12,000 likes and hundreds of replies where users have revealed their own technology issues.
