Just Smile

So, I'm got to start putting it all together somehow...
One thing that probably every other person that comes to the states for the first time will agree on is that people here SMILE a lot. Whether they are in a good mood or not, whether you have ever met, no matter how old they are or what they do for a living, American folks will greet you with a smiiiiiiile:

I found this cutie here

It seemed strange at first and caught me off guard, I was confused and didn't know how to react or to respond. My thoughts were:

Do I know you?
Do I look funny?
Is my nose clean?
Is my hair alright?
Do they know I'm not from here?
etc etc etc

But the further I go, the more I get used to it and even expect it now. I even smile more often myself. And I like it. Who said we need a reason to smile? Go ahead, take a smile!
