The many faces of Nicholas, cashing in on smiles

November 19th, 2006 by Scott

I made the mistake of telling Niko that every time he gives me a huge smile it counteracted a 3-4am wakeup. To be honest, I didn’t actually mean it when I said it. I really didn’t count on the fact that he might:

Actually understand me
Learn how to smile
Take me up on the offer

Jokes on me. I remember my parents making the mistake of promising me I could get a Nintendo if I learned to type at least 50 words a minute. Two weeks later I could type 70 words a minute and was looking at options for surgically attaching the Nintendo remote to my hands.

Perhaps this will be a learning experience and keep me from saying more expensive mistakes in the future like, “if you solve room temperature fusion I will buy you a Porsche.” That one could sting.
