If you regularly receive texts from your dad that are totally devoid of emotion (but full of periods), here's why.
I have always been that dad that gets accused of being too blunt while texting. In all honesty, it comes from a place of innocence. Half of the time, I don't even want to sound straightforward, but it always sounds like that. My kids and wife sometimes think I am angry with them because of how blunt my text comes out to be, and I always have to explain to them that I'm cool with everybody and that it was not intentional. Sometimes I re-read my text repeatedly to see if it sounds too blunt, and I insert emojis to lessen the seriousness.
