‘Is life better when you smile?’: Kids explain happiness

"What's better: a smile or a smirk or a grin or a laugh?"

HooplaHa asked a group of cute kids to share their thoughts on smiling, laughing and being happy.

"Is life better when you smile?"

"Yes, because it brings joy to the world," one girl says confidently, crediting Shakespeare for her answer.

Maybe these kids are onto something.

What do you think? Which is better: a smile or a smirk or a grin or a laugh?

(We're on Team Buddy the Elf: "I just like to smile. Smiling's my favourite.")

Research has found that faking a smile can hack your brain and boost personal happiness. So even if you're not in the mood today, fake it 'til you make it — and smile.
