  • smiles.

    "I was glad my father was an eye-smiler.

    It meant he never gave me a fake smile because
     it's impossible to make your eyes twinkle
    if you aren't feeling twinkly yourself.

    A mouth-smile is different.
    You can fake a mouth-smile any time you want, simply by moving your lips.
    I've also learned that a real mouth-smile always has an eye-smile to go with it.
    So watch out, I say, when someone smiles at you but his eyes stay the same.
    It's sure to be a phony." ~Roald Dahl (Danny the Champion of the World)
