Your grandma’s texts are probably full of typos and emojis that don’t fit. Answer them anyway. Someday you’ll reread them.

The format is bad and the effort behind it is enormous. Somebody who learned to type on a machine with no backspace is hunting for keys to send you a sentence about the weather, and the mismatched emoji is them trying to sound cheerful in a language they learned late. The message is mostly not the information. It is the fact that you came to mind.

Answer within the day, even with one line, and ask a question back. If the texts make you laugh, screenshot a few. Those threads tend to get valuable later for reasons that have nothing to do with the typos.
