10 Emojis Your Parents Always Use Wrong

1. The Winky Face:

To all the clueless parents out there, winky faces are NOT just a cute thing you can send. You know who people send the winky face to? People they wanna bang. I will admit, this applies more the original non-emoji winky face. However, the connotation is still there people!


2. The Heart Eyes:

Ok Mom, I know you love these but they must be used sparingly. The heart eyes are a reaction to something awesome or cute or amazing! Writing, "Are you gonna be home for dinner *insert emoji here* ?" is not the right context!

3. Nature Emojis:

I don't personally have this issue, but I have multiple friends whose fathers put nature/weather emojis in ordinary conversations. Sorry pops, but the tidal wave has nothing to do with whether I took out the garbage.

4. The 100 Sign:

Ok, I know this is very pop culture, but the 100 sign is NOT to be used at random intervals! WHY do parents use this randomly? WHY?

5. Heart(s):

Moms/Aunts/Grandmas love everything. I know you do. You love all my social media, and I appreciate that. But it's okay to not use five hearts though, alright?

6. Peace Sign:

No, this does not mean number two.

7. Confetti:

Again, with the loving everything. I know you're really excited about whatever we're discussing, but the confetti is NOT for when you fill up the gas tank.

8. "Praise" Hands:

No, no the hands aren't throwing anything or pushing anything up.

9. Praying Hands:

Again, not actual prayer. The whole "praise" and "bless" thing is generational, but I promise these emojis aren't as literal as you think!

10. Tongue:

GOD NO MOM PLEASE DON'T USE THAT EW.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
