I'm of course just joking, of course it counts. I'm impressed that you have a mother that remember the model of the airplane, mine would say: "It was a jet, I think"

No Boeing 720 either (the thread is titled Boeing 7xx)?

Full house for me ^ ...and all but one of them from 1990 onwards when I started travelling regularly as part of my job. My 2x 707 flights were in the mid-70s as a teenager with my parents on the now defunct Sabena Airlines.
Despite the 717 being a low sequence in the 7x7 series, it is technically the "newest" Boeing type in that picture. Although of course derived from the older MD95 it became the 717 when Boeing took over McDonnell Douglas in around 1997. So in the picture it is the latest Boeing aircraft to get the famous 7x7 sequence

I've flown on all bar the 717. My 707 experience was a Monarch owned -320B from LTN to LIN on a school skiing trip some years ago, but I remember it quite clearly.
Mind you, I've been on plenty of the original Mad Dog variants of the 717 over the years. Most of them SK.
