He added, "I love u mom don't kill me for posting this."

Avallone, a 20-year-old student at Northeastern University in Boston, was home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when he took the now viral photos of his mom, Eleanor.

"This is not a new thing. She constantly asks for snacks and always falls asleep so I got to a point [where I said], 'I’m going to make this into a post. This is like funny,'" he told ABC News.
