Aww shucks y'all.
Oh Melanie, I know you were just teasing me.
Tease to your hearts content. Teasing is great fun too.
I wish there were an unmistakably teasing emoji. I tease all the time but it's really hard to pull that off online without getting misinterpreted.
See, I would use a wink for that but I suggested we get a winking emoji once & I was flabbergasted at how many people said a wink would be offensive to them or thought as flirting. Whenever my mom or dad teased they always winked.
