Start Every Day with a Smile
My mother always said I should start every day with a smile.
Well, I’ve been mulling it over, and honestly, that’s a pretty tough task. When I wake up, my mouth is naturally in a frown. And no, it’s not because I’m sad. That’s just my default setting. When I sleep, I have literal resting bitch face.
Frown aside, my mouth faces additional challenges. Sometimes it’s dry and chapped. Sometimes it’s wet and drooly. Sometimes it’s covered in whipped cream from the, uh, adventurous night before.
Sorry Mom, but I can’t do it. There’s no possible way for me to follow your advice.
Sure, I could force a smile as soon as I’m conscious, but technically, that’s not starting my day with a smile. It doesn’t count.
And besides, I don’t have the acting chops to pull off the switcheroo. Somebody would catch me. Somebody always catches me when I fake things in bed.
Even if I could fool the world with an Oscar-worthy smile, I’d run into other problems. Like, am I supposed to take this literally? Should I be grinning at precisely 12:00 AM?
That’s problematic. Most midnights, I’m not even asleep yet. To follow the rules, I’d have to smile before I go to sleep. I would no longer be starting my day in the morning, but rather, I’d be starting my day in the middle of the previous night. I’d be starting my day on the previous day before the previous day even ended, and my bedtime would be my morning. None of this makes any damn sense.
And what if I am asleep at midnight? Unless I develop a habit of sleep-smiling, I’m doomed. I’d have to find a way to physically hold up my smile all night.
Maybe I could duct tape my lips? Maybe I could get Botox injections? Maybe I could hire a magical gnome who watches me in my sleep and pokes my face when the time is right?
Bah, I give up. I’m not going to smile. Smiling is overrated. Who even cares if I follow my mother’s advice? I mean, it’s not like this is the first time I disobeyed her. I have whipped cream-stained sheets to prove it.
What’s the worst that could happen? If I don’t smile, will there be consequences? Is this one of those superstition things? Is it like seeing a black cat, walking under a ladder, or breaking a mirror with my ugly face?
If I don’t start my day with a smile, will I have bad luck forever? Will I get hurt? Will I fall out of a window? Will I crap my pants?
Maybe this is more serious than I thought. Mom, I’m starting every day with a diaper.

Im the worst person to talk to in the morning. I either ignore you, or snap at you. Im always wake up in a bad mood lmao, especially if someone wakes me up. I dunno how people can be so happy in the morning :|

Nnie
I don't know ugh yeah that sucks. But I keep playing in my computer even my parents see me, they're too tired to scolded me and such so finally they let me 😀 but I rarely talked to them.
Nnie
Well my parents didn't care about me, they don't care about me and they banned me from computer several months ago, they love my little stupid sister more than me and such. They don't understand me and they don't want to 🙁

Well Luigi… lol I tend to start my day with my mouth just hanging open, I wonder what that means for my day? You never know, some days you may unknowingly start your day with a smile while you're dreaming. But then again… I think mom's only say that so they don't have to see the grumpy 'why-did-you-wake-me-up' look on their kids faces.

I wake up everyday with a headache and a "why the hell didn't i sleep longer' expression. My days don't start when a day start, unless it's a school day my day starts at lunch time… It's quite impossible and why would I smile when there is no need for one. If that be the case, I'd be best friends with the Joker. Then just maybe I could ask "Why So Serious"
Seeing as how much work that would take, I think starting the day off with a diaper, or maybe even toilet paper is FTW!
Reply to your comment: I stayed because I was sick.. then got better. xD I did have fun and umm, I went back on the 8th.. (x
Liz
lol =O smile!! ;D
Nnie
Yeah…or no. Umm I don't know. Maybe just when I'm in my home. My relationship with my family isn't really good. Lol
Lani
Yeah diaper would probably be a good idea.
And yes… as a matter of fact you caught me on a good day lol.
