Scared Marks

Today I was sending a text to my mother-in-law and Aidyn was watching over my shoulder. She has been increasingly interested in the printed word since she can read many simple words now, but these two words that I sent were too hard for her. The text said, "Awesome!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!" in appreciation for some help she had given me. I read it aloud to Aidyn at her request and she said, "But...then...why does it have so many scared marks?" I knew immediately what she meant and we had a great discussion about exclamation points and some other punctuation.
