Mom fails trying to surprise daughter at Utah State University in her dorm

(KUTV) -- Here's what happens when parents try to pretend they are cool, 18, and still think they can surprise you by showing up at your dorm by posting a selfie while laying your bed -- only it's not your bed... or even your dorm.

That's what happened to McKenna Pilling, the 18-year-old freshman from New York City, attending Utah State University.

Her mom planned to travel all the way across the country to surprise her with a visit. Only problem was, mommy Pilling didn't know her daughter moved out of her dorm for the semester.


"No one was in there so she laid down for five minutes in the wrong bed and decided to send me a picture as a surprise," Pilling told Buzzfeed.
