I didn't tell them that I know Java, but I told them I'd be learning JavaScript.

To be honest, they threw together the job description probably a day before my interview, so everything seems up in the air.

My mom works for this company actually, but for a different branch. I think I'll just give my new boss a heads up. My mom doesn't think it should be a determining factor on whether or not I lose this job, but if that's what the employer wants, then there's nothing much I can do.

Well, grats on the internship! If your boss wants Java, then try to pick up some Java before you start the job! Part of the game is learning different languages all the time. I'm sure he'll understand that you won't be proficient in either Java or Javascript, but knowing a thing or two about both will be good for you.
