me: you know right, that i am of that generation that does not understand what sentiment or message a sticker is meant to convey? is that rabbit you sent me dead or what, and from rabbity lust?

young historian: what’s so difficult? you just look at them and open your heart! anyway i was trying to suggest you reach for the stars.

me: let me get this straight: a rabbit with shut eyes waving his arms symbolises reaching for the stars. how was i supposed to have guessed that?! this is too new fangled for me!

young historian: you see the stars in the background? he was flinging wide open the locked windows of his soul!

me: all right, if he is yearning for these stars as you claim, why are his eyes shut then?

young historian: he sees with his heart of course! *sparkle at you*

me: oh lord. your explanations are worse than the stickers.
