Excitement?

For years I've been working on keeping my face from showing emotion. I don't like it when people know how I feel unless I tell them how I feel. I don't like giving any information up without my consent.

So I was really disappointed when I was looking over our pictures from Disneyland and came across this series of 4 self-portraits as we were waiting in line to ride the teacups.

I start out with my normal face. Just the trace of a smile, and the squinty eyes that make people think I'm peering into their soul.
Then I start showing some teeth. Normally when I show teeth it's to scare aware predators and is usually accompanied by growling. Not this time. I think it was actually the beginnings of excitement.

Still trying to maintain composure, but my excitement is bursting through. Normally, I'd punch anyone making the face that I'm making in this picture. If I'd seen myself at the time, I probably would have slammed my head against a tree to prevent others from thinking I was having a good time.

This last picture, right before we get on the ride, scares me. Nobody should look that happy. It's sort of like when somebody has their zipper down; somebody should have told me my emotions were showing so I could conceal them.

It was certainly a fun ride, but I'm not sure that it was worth all that smiling.

Oh, I'd like to point out that Annie looks exactly the same in each photo.
