Here's a transcript of that glorious text. "A grinning face, a sunglasses face, a crazy face, seven smiley faces, a face crying with laughter, two faces with tongue out, two faces with monocles, two smirking faces, three party faces, a goofy face, three kissing faces, an upside-down face, two faces rolling on the floor laughing, a sad face, an unamused face, two nerd faces, three winking faces, and a worried face."

Beside the fact that "nerd face" is a surprisingly savage burn from a virtual assistant, the ability to narrate emoji like this is honestly impressive.

Another Twitter user pointed out that there's one emoji that's particularly joyous to hear read aloud.

A smiley face, a sunglasses face, a face with tongue out.
