Seeing more and more people with masks, I’ve come to realize that some people know how to smile with their eyes and some don’t.

I’m not sure if this is something you can practice or teach, or if after years of smiling it’s just what you do or don’t do? But it can create a bit of an awkwardness when having friendly exchanges at stores… when you don’t know the person you are interacting with, and thus don’t know how they are responding to an attempt to have a fun conversational exchange.

Put your mask on. Take a photo, then smile and take another photo. Looking at your eyes, can you tell that you are smiling in the second photo?

On the bright side of mask-wearing, I don’t have to worry about the piece of food stuck between my teeth. 🤣
