어떻게 하면 누군가가 진짜 웃음을 짓고 있는지 알 수 있을까요? 그 사람이 스밍하고 있는지 보면 됩니다. 스밍이 뭐냐고요? 바로 저기, 그 느낌이에요. 네, 눈이 약간 까마귀 발처럼 되는 거예요. "내가 까마귀 발 주름 만들어줄 수 있어요?" "아, 물론이죠."
가짜 미소는 아래쪽 얼굴이 움직이지 않아요. "네, 다 볼에 달려 있죠, 그렇죠?" "맞아요, 맞아요."
우리가 진짜 행복할 때는 볼살이 위로 솟아오릅니다. 보통 피부가 평평한데, 웃으면 '스마일백'이 생기죠. "아, 그렇군요." 네, '스마일백'이 있다면, 볼살이 눈 주위 피부를 밀어 올리고 있는 거예요. 가짜 미소와는 상관없지만, 진짜 마음에서 우러나오는 웃음이 아니라는 거죠.
제 딸 엠마가 네 살 때였어요. 제가 얼굴에서 기쁨을 나타내는 다양한 포인트에 대해 설명하고 있었는데, 엠마가 그러더라고요. "엄마, 그냥 여기 피부가 통통한지 보면 돼. 통통하면 행복한 거야." 그게 바로 각 감정마다 고유한 특징을 찾아내는 여정의 시작이었죠. 😊
How can you tell if someone's giving you a real smile? If they're sming. What's sming? Kind of like right there. Yeah, your eyes are kind of like crow eyes. So I can give you crow's feet? Oh yeah. Fake smile: the bottom half is not there. Yeah, it's all in our cheeks, is it? Okay, okay.
So when we're happy, our cheeks pop up. The skin is usually flat, and we get smile bags. Oh, okay. Yeah, so if we have smile bags, the cheeks are pushing up against the eyes. It has nothing to do with a fake smile, but you're not authentically smiling.
My daughter Emma was four when I was describing all these different points on the face for joy. She said, "Mama, you just have to look at the skin right there. If it's fat, they're happy." And that was sort of the beginning of pulling this one piece that was specific for each emotion.
