Thought help: Smiling is infectious, - Help.com

Smiling is infectious,

You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner,
and someone saw my grin,
When he smiled I realised,
I’d passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
Then I realised its worth,
A single smile just like mine,
Could travel round the earth.
So if you feel a smile begin,
Don’t leave it undetected -
Let’s start an epidemic quick
And get the world infected!

I’ve already had my shots. Bah.
Luckily for me, I needn’t be totally left out as rabies is highly contagious too.

A yawn can do that too, just reading the word yawn can make someone yawn, and once you yawn you may cause someone else to yawn and before you know it your yawn has gone around the world like the smile, only it’s a yawn…. I hope my little story made you smile, did it make you yawn too? lol

An unfortunate accident at the vets left me with the necessary muscle groups for smiling wasted and useless. And it caused priapism, too.
And that was before he put the thermometer in.

I will. It will take me a while to doggy paddle over. Don’t leave the house. Oh and can you blow dry my fur when I get there? It goes all frizzy if I just leave it to dry naturally.
