Son Posts Hilarious Photos of Mom Who Often Falls Asleep After Asking for Bedtime Snack

— -- Many people have been there: Your mom calls out from her bedroom, asking for a glass of water or a bedtime snack.

One young man's mom would fall asleep before he'd even return with the snack. So he took to Instagram to hilariously "mom-shame" her.

Nick Avallone posted a collage of photos to his Instagram with the caption, "I adore my mom beyond words but I have to mom-shame her for always doing this to me."

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.

Avallone said his mother "thought it was cool" when she realized she went viral on his Instagram account, racking up over 21,000 likes.

"We've always been like best friends," he added. "My mom and I constantly joke around ... she's just like a really good person."
