How do I put a smiley face in my email? Your sister is out for a conference so I can’t ask her.

Love,
Mom

(Her response after I explain it is just a semicolon and parenthesis):

Thank you.
What is so funny? I needed to know how to do it.
It was important because someone sent me a sad face – and I needed a smiley face to send her.
I tried right clicking like you always tell me to do – but it didn’t help!  Darn that right clicking. I always forget that.

Love, me

Magazine project does sound FUN. Features Director is the most fun job – but you should do the sub editing role as well (you are good at picking up grammatical errors and spelling etc). :-) :-)

No need to spaz out. All will be good tonight. I am looking foward to it. :-)

Love you lots xx :-)

;-) :-P

Am I crazy or does this look like an inappropriate emoticon            <333
It looks inappropriate to me, but what do I know?  I’m an old lady.
