We all have that one relative who’s a little…behind the times. You know, the one who still prints out emails? Well, in my family, that honor goes to my darling Grandma Jean. She’s a woman who writes her grocery lists in cursive and still calls me to ask what channel “the Google” is on (it’s channel 3, Grandma, for the hundredth time).
Operation: Emoji Queen Commences
So, you can imagine my surprise when Grandma Jean got a brand-new smartphone. My cousins and I were ecstatic! Finally, a way to share funny memes and stay connected beyond the weekly phone calls.
We decided to start with the basics: emojis. “It’s easy, Grandma,” I said, pulling up a text message. “See this little smiley face? That means you’re happy.”
