Mom's Monitor at Home

Text on the meme

Me: Mom, can we buy a new monitor? Mom: No, we have a monitor at home Monitor at home: 15:13 Friday 1 October

What it means

A meme shows a request to buy a new monitor, followed by a photo of an old CRT television being presented as the monitor already at home. The joke exaggerates the familiar parental response that an existing, unsuitable object is good enough, making it a reaction to outdated or makeshift technology.
