When I was a younger man I was much more shy with my smile, but I've learned throughout life that insecurities hold us back and that oftentimes the reasons for such insecurities are laden with obscurities in perception.Thank you so much @agmoore,
That's awesome your daughter is into fruit smoothies too!
I'm sure she's a talented lovely young lady. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, pun intended :)
Yes, she is the apple of my eye 😁, one of them, anyway. Fortunately I have two eyes and two apples ;))
When my granddaughter was very very young, too young to be polluted by mass advertising, my daughter used to give her vegetables as a 'treat'. If you handed that child a slice of raw green pepper, she would munch away in delight. 🥒
Edit:
BTW: I used to hate smiling also, because I had spaces in my teeth. When I was 49 had bonding placed on my front teeth and haven't stopped smiling since.:))
Yours is one of the best, truly.
