Smile from within, honey

After I told some net-savvy friends about something I happened to overhear in Prospect Park about two weeks back, they told me that it was funny enough for Overheard in New York. Turns out, it was:

Mom taking photos of son: Smile, sweetie.

Mom: Smile from within, honey.

Mom: Smiling from within means smile like you're happy on the inside.

Mom: Okay, not that much.

--Prospect Park

One of those times that makes me realize what a strange, wondrous world the Internets have brought us.
