Smiles cause wrinkles!
Posted on | April 26, 2010 | Comments Off
She sat with her usual cranky face on. It wasn’t really a cranky face, so much as a relaxed, expressionless face that some mistook for cranky. She did her best to let the muscles in her face relax as much as she could. This is what kept her looking young, she thought. Smiles cause wrinkles.
She knew a couple people who were probably smiling just reading this, and others who were probably thinking “so that’s how she does it!” That miserable face is what has kept her looking so young, some guessing as much as ten years off her age. She personally saw no reason to smile unless called for, and when she did, she’d been complimented on it enough to know it was worth the wait. At least she’d hoped it was.
Whatever the case, there were certain things that warranted a smile, such as a little Worm Guy (yes a bug) showing up at her window or perhaps a squirrel dashing up a tree full of bright green leaves. A good joke would get a smile, as would a good “blond moment” as she’d like to call them even if her hair was currently brown. A package in the mail would bring a smile, especially when it contained something wonderful from the Art Teacher. She smiled when appropriate, and that was all that mattered.
She smiled as she looked at the new cucumber eye cream she had purchased for her wrinkles. . .
