I struggle to learn a New Non-Language and the results are not stellar:

Me: Are you going to do the writing prompt?
ME: What?
ME: I thought you said you wanted to try your hand at doing some writing.
FB: 
ME: I don’t get it, are you going to write or not?
FB: 
ME: Come on. Seriously are you going to do the prompts or not?
FB: I said yes. Did you not get my messages?
ME: I got a bunch of smiley faces. You might want to reconsider the writing thing if that’s how you’re going about doing it.
FB: Oh. You’re so funny. Everyone talks with these things now. It’s like sign language.
ME: Oh. I get it. Like this?

I still don’t have that emoji thing down. What is funny is that someone I am around from time to time rips into people for having accents, but she uses emojis instead of words because reading and writing is a challenge for her. I should write about THAT

Thank you, that was a fun post to write.
You’re welcome!
