Mom Uses Doorbell Camera to Invite Her Son Over For Taco Night

Moms know how to get ahold of us, regardless of if we answer the phone or not. Call it ingenuity or a mother's intuition, but they'll track you down and get you their message.

A woman named Maria from Rialto, California has a Ring doorbell camera on her house. Her son and daughter bought it for her so they could keep track of who is coming and going, plus they'd be able to check on her from anywhere to make sure she's alright.

Maria's son reportedly rarely answers his phone, but does check the alerts that come through from the doorbell to make sure she's doing okay. When it came time for Taco Night at Maria's house, she knew just how to invite him in a way she knew he'd see.

She rang the doorbell, and spoke her message to him.

"We are having Taco Night. So, if you'd like to eat, you just come over, and you're welcome to get it. You hear me? I called you and you didn't answer because I think you're busy."

Maria's son shared the video, which got picked up by Ring's YouTube channel, where they post clips submitted by users of cute interactions and crazy things caught on camera.

"Mom always knows best. When Maria’s son didn’t answer her phone call, she thought of the next best option. Knowing he checks the alerts from her Ring Video Doorbell at her Rialto, California home, she used it to relay her important message: “We’re having taco night!'" Their channel's description said.

"Maria’s son and daughter got the Ring Video Doorbell for their elderly parents so they could check on them from anywhere," Ring wrote. "Maria appreciates the peace of mind it provides as well. “I like it because it's much safer, you know who's coming in or who's going out. Or who knocks on the door,” she says."
