Closetful of Smiles

Friend notes my face as I come bouncing up to greet him. "Oh no."
Bewildered. "What?"
"What'd you break?"
Indignant, "I didn't break anything!"
"That's your 'I-broke-something' smile."
"Is not! This is my, 'I-want-something' smile." I am pleased by the distinction.
"Oh." Thinks this over. "Why does your 'I-want-something' smile look just like your 'I-broke-something' smile?"
"Um...'cause usually when I broke something I want you to not be mad at me about it?"
"Ah."

I didn't realize I did this, but he's right - I checked the mirror, and they are almost exactly the same expression.
