Susan said something about my mom and she started off what she said by saying, #LIGHT!

She said now these days we ALL know what a hashtag is, and she was saying that if there could be a hashtag about my mom it would be, #LIGHT! Buuuuuuuut the thing that was so funny about that to me is the fact that, MY MOM HAD NO CLUE WHAT A HASHTAG WAS!!!
