Ruh roh

Coping strategies for being iffy at conversation include keeping a bunch of fun facts handy. One of mine has been that it takes 42 muscles to frown. I really thought it did! I read it somewhere.

It actually only takes two (depressor anguli oris on each side). Whoops. I'm sorry, universe!

Smiling takes a lot more (2 for a flat smile, 8 at least for showing teeth), making that adage of it's a lot more work to frown completely false.

For the record, it's 8:50 am.
