Rapid City, SD 57701 341-4300 Mark Twain once said, "Man is the only animal that blushes. or needs to." I suppose that's true, and it is also true that man is the only animal that smiles. As a child, I was around pigs quite a bit, but I never saw one smile. Our popular songs are full of smiles. Who can forget Al Jolson singing, "I'd walk a million miles For one of your smiles, My Maaammmyy!" or Judy Garland singing, "Smile, though your heart is aching, Smile, even though it's breaking, about, How let a smile be your umbrella, On a rainy, rainy day.

Why am I writing about smiles? Well, it has occurred to me that about all you need sometimes is a smile. Several years ago, my wife and I took care of a severely handicapped child for a couple of years. Stephanie is cerebral palsied, microcephalic, profoundly retarded and deaf. She cannot speak or move about. Yet, she has one thing going for her that attracts people to her.

She has a beautiful smile. And, oh yes, she has very long eyelashes that some women would kill to have. A smile and long eyelashes will get you about anything you want. I have thought quite a bit about the origins of smiling behavior. Where do smiles come from? Observe a newborn infant and you will not see a smile.

(Newborn infants don't do much of anything.) But, gloriously, some time around four to six weeks of age, the smile comes about. Here is what I think happens to encourage smiling. Baby Oswold or Baby Matilda is lying in his or her crib one day. has been fed and diapered. All is right with the world.

Out of boredom, just to have something to do, does a little experimenting with facial muscle movement. Just as Mother bends down to check on Little Darling, Little Darling wrinkles the mouth into something faintly resembling a smile. Mother sees this "smile" and immediately goes ape. She calls to her husband, who is watching the Vikings on the tube. Come here.

Little Darling just smiled." John comes running, as do the older siblings and the family dog. The dog yips, the sibs yell, John enthuses, "Well, IT be darned," and Mother picks up Little Darling, smothers with kisses, and says, "Isn't dust the cootest wittle fing? dust smiled! Yes, did!" Little Darling Matilda) thinks (as much as can think) "Hey! All I did was wrinkle my mouth a little, and I get all this attention. I think I'll do it again!" Pretty soon you have a baby who smiles any time someone comes near. That is my theory of smiling behavior, and I will stick with it until I hear a better one. Speaking of smiling, the reader may wish to take a look at the picture that accompanies this column.

Is that just a hint of a smile? It couldn't be a smirk, could it? I certainly hope not. But, then, maybe someday I'll write a column about smirking behavior.
