This Daughter Volunteered To Water Her Mother’s Plants But The Detailed Instructions Have Shook Her

Wacky By David / July, 05, 2025

Grace Burton posted a few pictures on her twitter timeline and shocked everyone with the detailed instructions her mother had given her. The instructions were for a task we call watering the plants.

How can someone go wrong with that and why is there a need for instructions for such a petty task? This Grace’s mother takes her plants very seriously and we can just find humor in this whole saga.

The email Grace received from her mother contained a flow chart that told her how she is supposed to water the plants.

She posted the whole flowchart with a caption, “Agreed to water my mum’s garden whilst she’s on holiday and she’s just gone and emailed me an ENTIRE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE. There’s a FLOW CHART. I can’t.”

The mail is nothing less than a formal business mail. The mother first thanked her daughter for “willing cooperation” to take an initiative of taking care of her plants.

She then goes ahead to give further instructions that involved picking up the hose, then telling her the order to water the plants. There was description of the plants and the poor daughter couldn’t figure out what plant is her mother talking about.

She needed an appendix at this moment.

Some people on Twitter had a laugh about it and others were plain impressed.

A person commented, “Love your mum. Genius.”

Others called it “MAGNIFICENT”.

Even the daughter couldn’t help and herself admitted that the whole thing was brilliant. She branded her parent as a “professional troll”.

Well, we can’t take a basic responsibility of taking care of ourselves in the absence of our mothers and this girl needs an applaud for having patience and going through this set of instructions.
