Mine's 15 and just having a go at me for cutting her toast into 4 pieces instead of 2, because my psychic powers didn't work and I didn't know she now wants it cut 'more grown-up'
(she only uses one hand, cutting it herself is difficult so I did it, although I encourage her to do it herself usually)

She'll be wanting it diagonal next....

My granddaughter, just three, sitting in the back of my parked car, catching my eye in the mirror and saying "Hey Marg, we look like each other" and cackling with laughter (for some reason this blonde fairy has a Sid James laugh). I said "We do, don't we?" (it's true) and then she suggested we drive off and hide the car down the road - we were waiting outside a shop for her mum to come out.
You don't always need Big Moments or Events for them to stick in the memory as a happy thought for ever.

My kitties - more specifically, when my tom cat snores, and when my Bengal "makes biscuits" (kneads) on me, makes me smile to no end
My OH, most of the stuff he does, he's so funny
When random people you don't know say hello to you on the street or say stuff like "it's a nice day, isn't it?" - they don't have to, and it always makes my day when they do
When my OH lets a bus out of a stop or whatever, and they do the thing where they either put their hazard lights on for a second or indicate left & right for a second to say thank you - also makes my day, dunno why!
My nephew & niece, I don't get to see them very often but when I do I cannot stop smiling the whole time I am with them, and I'm not really a child person
And getting mail that isn't bills

I saw a video of a Bear waving and catching a slice of bread. Made me smile.

That's how it was in my day. Watching a screaming child being led out of a shop makes me strangely nostalgic....”

I was going to post this. Nothing better than a kid throwing an absolute stooshie in the middle of a public place

Watching my rabbit binking and dashing around the living room really makes me smile. Lovely to know he's so happy after his crap start in life.

Today we went to the circus (it comes once a year, it's a special for disabled kids, costs nothing and is sponsored by local business who buy the tickets and give them to various schools/groups/charities).

I spent most of the time watching my daughter as she enjoyed the show. The pleasure she gets gives me pleasure, she loved the clown. She asked if we could take him home with us

My son calling adverts 'adworks'.

My daughter's thoughtfulness and kindness.

My dog falling down the back of the sofa and then sprackling like a drunk to right herself. (Actually, that makes me howl, not just smile.)

Putting on new, soft cotton socks.

Opening the kitchen cupboard and finding Wispas.

That's so sweet and is the polar opposite of our recent trip to the circus. I bagged free tickets, thought the kids would be delighted. Not so much.

Girl: "No offence Mum but WWF said animals shouldn't be in circuses so, you know, I'll not if you don't mind. No offence. But I'll not judge you if you want to go..." Which told me I was being judged. Very much.

Took boy. He was spectacularly underwhelmed by the clown. Refused to accept he was a clown and sighed and said "Not That Man again" everytime he came out. Tbf it was the shoddiest, dreariest circus I'd seen and the clown - That Man - did have the face of a depressive and hardened drinker but still...ungrateful brutes! Left at the interval.

I work in elderly care homes and they are not always the happiest places, but I there are some very sweet moments, eg residents forming very close and loving bonds with the care staff. We had one lady who was a bit confused and convinced that she was on the best holiday ever. She kept saying, "I've never had such a long holiday before! I'm so happy that they are letting me stay here!"

You have my deepest sympathy. Hormone city and elephant steps.

Taking a few days out. To get out of your stuffy flat, and away from the computer. A loverly day out to the seaside, with gorgeous weather...,

It makes me want to thank whatever/ whoever makes that possible....

I just saw a commercial for Lego Jurassic Park - which featured a scene of a dinosaur drawing a smily face on a fogged up window. (And I'm still smiling about it now.)

Going in to check on 7 yr old son, to find him snoring softly with a pink satin eyemask on and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle eyemask over the top of it, presumably in a bid to man it up a bit.

Taking my kids who are 5 and 3 to the farm, while they were on the tractor ride they shouted 'this is the best day ever!'
They will probably burst with excitement when we take them to Disney land next year

I know; she doesn't understand the whole hormone situation and asks me every month to get them out of her body

I defy anyone not to smile at that mental image.

In order to shake myself out of a negative funk, please tell me.... What makes you smile.”

I've never ever heard anybody say negative funk.

Duckings make me smile and their antics. I posted this vid only a few days ago, but here it is again.
