My Mother Was Right

My Mother Was Right

There are certain things all mothers say. “Don’t frown, your face will freeze that way!”, is just one of many motherly sayings. Now that I am older, I have discovered my mother was right, but not in the way I thought. I always thought she meant my face would freeze into a frown right then, so I didn’t believe her.

The truth, we all get wrinkles, and our major wrinkles come as the result of the paces we put our faces through. Those who laugh a lot have laugh lines on their faces. Those who squint a lot, have squint lines next to their eyes. Those who frown a lot, have frown lines on their foreheads and other places on their faces.

My mother was right. My face has frozen into wrinkles that mark the major activities I have done with it. I am glad I laughed more than I did many other things. I also wish I had not made so many faces over the years at kids.
