I have a text message thread between me and a client, my side is a weekly "wages set up for Friday" text and his side is a weekly thumbs up reply. Yes we are both old

Hi my loves, I have just had to send Vera home in a taxi after us enjoying two bottles of wine. Poor V isn’t a drinker, and we were meant to have a BBQ but since the weather was so DISGUSTING we headed in to the bar and she played constant Madonna and only had bar food. No toppy carrots but she did play Material Girl at least 5 times.

I usually put a thumbs emoji when I am agreeing to something but the conversation is DEAD.

As if I need alcohol.

I only really use thumbs up in WhatsApp group chats as a passive aggressive acknowledgement.

I’m not sure I’m all that good at being passive aggressive. No beating around the bush with me.

I worry that the younger Moopers will lie to us about what things mean.
