Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave. — Madagascar

The art of the impassive face is one that I learned very early in life, and it’s one that has served me well.  Being able to look happy when I’m furious, or to laugh when I want to scream gives me time to think before I speak or act.  It keeps others from knowing when they’ve pushed my buttons.  I know it’s petty and passive aggressive, but not letting on when others have gotten on my nerves makes me feel better.
