Me last night: I put those chips out of reach for a reason!
Child: I can reach the ladder.
Me: You think you’re sooooo smart.
My eyes, which can’t lie: ooooh smart kid
The bottom teeth showing isn’t a strong indicator, some people do that even with a real smile, but the eyes are a giveaway.
Thanks for this! Do you also have one for making your voice sound more trustworthy and less hungry?
Bro wants to eat someone
Speak with a deeper tone, project your voice (sometimes referred to as speaking from your diaphragm), and curse a lot.
As an autistic person I used something similar to learn how to smile.
Don’t forget to make piercing eye contact!
Dude, it worked, wow. I just imagine something my kids actually made IRL, instant genuine smile. Powerful.
I also imagine this guy’s kids’ crafts
I choose that guy’s dead wife.
My kid demonstrated antimaterialism.
Imagining a kid with an anti-materiel rifle also works.
Don’t have kids, don’t want 'em, but what works for me is imagining my cats doing literally anything ☺️
Wh…what does that look like?
If my kid does something cool I do a “impressed” face
Imagine your child with a binder full of shinies.
