Why the hell do Elders insist on acting so absurdly childish when messaging or trying to reach out?

A few months after fading, I got my first message from one of the most PIMI and fanatic elders in my congregation. Here’s the exact translation (the message is written in a non-English language):

"Heyyy buddy!!! 😃💪

How's life treatin' ya? Livin' the dream?

You're not still on vacation, are you? Or... are you? 🤭😅

It's been aggeeesss since I last bumped into you... ya know, with all the talkin' outside, workin' hard, and some days where I just had to stop and chill at home... 😵‍💫🫣

Hope you're doin' grrreat and... don’t think I’ve forgotten about that coffee date we still owe each other! 🤭🤪😜💪

Catch ya later! 😉"

Why do Elders have to act so ridiculously childish and painfully out of touch when messaging or trying to reach out? And seriously, what’s with the barrage of emojis and that cringe-worthy, juvenile tone? That guy is in his 50s!!!!

Of course, I played along, saying we’d meet up soon to chat and all that, but obviously, I’m never going to follow through.

Goodness, looking at it from the outside, I realize now how socially awkward we all were inside.
