We've all had that time when we learned a person's age and our jaw dropped. "Wait, you're how old?" That can either be a flattering moment or a painful reminder that time waits for none of us. Blake Shelton and his mother appear to be fighting that exact battle as a result of a Mother's Day photo.

Somehow, it's both wholesome and tragic. Here's the photo I'm sure Shelton didn't see any harm in posting.
" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:500px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);" data-script="https://www.instagram.com/embed.js">It's a man, his mama, and some questionable home-decorating decisions. It's a celebration of only the most inoffensive of holidays: Mother's Day! Or it's supposed to be, anyway.
The quote in the headline was one of the first comments I saw when I came across the photo. Mama Shelton must've had a few sips from the Fountain of Youth because she looks great. Seriously! She and the country hitmaker look like they could actually be siblings!
But is that a compliment to Mama Shelton or an insult to Blake?
Blake Shelton, His Mama, And The Wild West That Is The Internet
It's a tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme: if you have anything of value you cherish or love, leave it off the internet. You know how now, as adults, we realize how cruel (and funny, admittedly) children can be? Well, that's the internet -- 24/7.
It's why, as a writer, I'm always so happy when I can write for a publication that doesn't have a comment section. Why subject myself to that, you know? If I'm terrible, let me be terrible in an echo chamber where I can pretend I'm doing a good job!
Looks like your sister.. mom is gorgeous
