[Anonymous. Yeah, right. Nice try, Elmer. Who else would send a text like this? Well lots of people don't know him, so they're free to guess.]

Reasons you should be smiling RIGHT NOW:
☺ It will make you feel better!
☺ It will make others around you feel better!
☺ It will help the new people feel more welcome and safe!
☺ It will help make the rain go away!
☺ Unless rain makes you smile, then it will make it rain even more!
☺ It really does take less muscles to smile than to frown!
☺ I think! I never checked up on that, but I've done both and I think it's correct
☺ Because we're helping the world!
☺ Because it will make you popular and everyone can admire your nice teeth!
☺ Because frowning will get you nowhere but a smile will get you everywhere!

I can't see you're face so I'm going to pretend you are. It looks good on you!

[biwinning]

And now you can. Thee, frowning.

[video]

[keep_smiling]

[Well to hell with anonimity. Elmer's face pops up now, looking in thought for a moment before breaking out into a serene-looking smile of his own.]

I see! I bet you'll get there soon, though. Why do you insist on frowning, then?

Not here
