It’s usually a little embarrassing when your mom talks about sex, but when she tweets about it, things reach a whole new level.

At least that’s what Seth Rogen‘s family proved this week. Family matriarch Sandy Rogen shared an observation about her sex life Wednesday morning that ended up making her kids’ skin crawl.

“Falling asleep after sex is like shavasana after yoga.!” she said, comparing post-coital napping to the meditative wind-down period after a yoga workout.

You can picture it now: the Rogens, retirees maybe, enjoying a relaxing, morning-bone sesh. After a quick doze, maybe Sandy makes that joke aloud and her husband chuckles.

“That’s good,” he might have said. “You should tweet that.”

And then a couple hours later, just scrolling his feed, their son Seth notices the tweet. His reaction was about what you’d expect from the comedy star.

After that it was off to the races. Rogen’s mother defended her tweet, calling it an “observation of life,” while his sister Danya jumped in to echo her brother’s embarrassment.

Sandy stuck to her guns, though, eventually deciding that her children are being “Lame!” about her good tweet.

And because this easily could be a scene from one of Rogen’s teen movies, his friends and fans have been having fun roasting the writer/director in his mentions too.

10/10. Perfect mom moment.
