Meaning and Interpretation
🥺 This is THE ultimate begging face! Those huge puppy eyes are designed to melt anyone's heart. When someone sends this, they're basically saying 'please pretty please' or 'don't be mad at me.' It's like when you really want something and you're pulling out all the cute stops. Super popular for guilt-tripping friends into buying you food or forgiving your mistakes. Works even better when you throw in some extra text like 'just this once' or 'I'll be good I promise!'
