I’ve made an amusing observation today – no one (and I mean no one) can get angry with a smiling woman in Minnie Mouse Ears. Whether I’m dashing through traffic (and cutting off other motorists) or racing through Wal-Mart (also cutting off other … er… shoppers), I was consistently met with a smile. In fact, many people I encountered almost behaved aplogetically toward me (even when it was I who had acted inappropriately).
