Wallet?   My Gen Z Kids See Periods in My Texts as “Aggressive” A couple of years ago, someone told us about this. They instructed us to leave periods off the end of our texts if we wanted to keep the chat going. You should only use a period if you’re either getting down to some serious business or signaling you want to wrap up the conversation.  We’ll stick to phone calls.
