We gather earlier today to create poster boards that we would proudly hold up on busy street intersections of San Francisco. The posters would say simple things like “Smile” or “Smile anyway” or “Spare a smile” or “Smile; it's free”. We were doing this simply for lack of smiles in the world.
We split up into teams of four and spread over various intersections. We stood at the intersections, with a big smile on our own faces, yelling “smile” at cars stopped there.
Hundreds of cars passed by. Drivers pointed their fingers to the smile on their faces, mothers looked at their kids who were quick to show their teeth, the bus passengers waved as if we were their best friends, and old couples gave a satisfied look as they were no longer worried about the future generation. No one felt like a stranger.
Half way through, two kids wanted to join us. They were on spring break and were dying to tell people to smile. Almost immediately, they started flashing the posters, yelling “smile” on the top of their lungs. Practically no one could refuse an invitation to smile from lovely kids.
Time passed quickly. We had to head back so we could share stories with other group members. Just then, the two kids innocently asked us, “Can we keep two of the posters?” “Why, sure. Here you go.” We thought that perhaps they were just going to take them home.
But we were wrong. In the distance, we heard the voices of the two kids — “Sssssmmmmile, Smmmiiiiiiiile.” We were done, but the kids were still going.
