The Power of MY smile

Like how I know I can’t speak Japanese I really try to make myself look as pleasant as possible so I’ve been smiling a whole lot. Thankfully I brought my good old Colgate with fluoride ( of course) to keep my teeth as close to white as I possibly can. (Dem don’ like fluoride in Japan as you may know)

Anyway, now they having a festival for some children. It’s quite beautiful in fact. They make little lanterns with the names of the children in the area painted on them and then hang them by a shrine. Japan have whole heap a shrine, as you walk 5 step you in front of another shrine. For this festival the children will come by the shrine to ring a bell, to wake up the ‘god’ inside and make him aware that someone actually remembers him. After they do that, the person in charge at the shrine gives them juice and some snacks and they leave happy. Anyway I was sitting by the shrine by my apartment miming to my Japanese friends ( the only way we can communicate ) and a little girl came up to get her juice and snacks. She so cute I flash my smile at her. Well see yah, the little girl in terror burst out into a big bawl and start cling to her mother desperate to escape the shrine with the smiling black girl. But I really couldn’t believe that my smile was causing this reaction so like a scientist I decide to test it . I stopped smiling- the little girl was fine again. So I smile again and of course likkle miss start to bawl again hard, hard.

Bwoy I always knew a smile was powerful but now I know that mine has the power to make you burs’ out and bawl- lol Poor soul, she probably never see a smiling black girl in her two years on earth and did well fraid.
