Sit down, pls.

I’d like to tell you a story.

It’s a tale as old as time involving a boy, his mum, a cougar, and a university-wide email chain.

You see, Caleb Diaz is a 23-year-old senior at Southern Oregon University in the United States.

Last week his uni sent out an email warning students about cougars in the local area and telling them to call 911 if they spot one.

Caleb and his mate then made the nevernotfunny joke about a cougar being an older women interested in younger men.

Hehehehe.

Caleb then thought it would be a heaps funny idea to reply all to the email, writing: “That’s just my mom”.

It was a great gag and Caleb went to bed safe in the knowledge the uni would never actually let a student reply all to an email.

But then he woke up in the morning and discovered that yes, actually, theywould.

Caleb sent an email to every single student at Southern Oregon University calling his mom a cougar.

Caleb then went on Twitter and discovered his fellow students were sharing hisverypublic email blunder.

Kudos to the kid. He won Twitter for the day. Perhaps the week. Probably been evicted from his mom’s basement, but what the heck….

According to Buzzfeed News, Caleb had dinner with his parents over the weekend and had to explain the whole email debacle to his mum.

Oh, Caleb.
