<sigh> The same problem, ad nauseum. I am so sick of being told to "smile" by people who don't know me and don't even really care, they are just being nosy and bossy, that sometimes I want to just puke, then look at them and say, "I'm sorry, was that your shoe? What were you saying?"
But Mama didn't raise me to act that way . . . :-)
So I just look at them, and say in my most syrupy voice: "Honey, when I smile, people drive their cars off the road, and run into each other from the glare, so the poor little ole' police officers warned me that if I didn't stop smilin' all the time, they'd have to start writin' me tickets!!!"
