Ok, I admit it. I am baffled by emoji. There are too many! Even here on cc, if I click on the smiley to insert, I’m stumped. There are just too many choices making it all the more likely I will pick the wrong one! Which one do I choose?? It does not help that I can’t see small details as well as I used to. I can text fine without glasses, but pick out details in emoji eye shapes? Forget it!

Anyone else? I did find this guide that is helpful:

Thankfully, my younger son is a very patient explainer of text abbreviations and slang. He also thinks it’s hysterical when I don’t know what something means. He could not get over that I didn’t know what a “scrub” was yesterday. I better get an emoji tutorial before he leaves for school!
