Ok, Class, here’s your assignment… No grumbling! Put your hands down, spit out your gum and stop talking! I haven’t even told you what it is yet!
Your assignment this week is to make someone smile. Mean-spirited smiles at someone else’s expense will be given an F. Glaring, lascivious or evil-villain grins will get a 0. I will only accept the genuine, unforced smiles of delighted people.

Provided you break no laws, you’re on your own as to how you go about it. If you need an example to follow, the Visitation Team has this down to an art form. Their approach was to visit our friends at home and share fresh, local peaches.
No, Susie, the fruit does not qualify as cheating. In fact, I will give extra credit to those who share those simple pleasures that remind us to live joyfully in whatever season we are.
Any questions? Smiles, people. Clear enough? Class dismissed!
