From the day I was born I have never smiled. As a child I don't think I ever questioned it. It sounds bizarre, but I never acknowledged that it was a physical impossibility. The first time the seriousness of it really hit me was when I was in my teens. People would look at me and say, "Smile! It may never happen!" Photographers would call out, "Smile!" I'd sigh, roll my eyes and feel humiliated.
