First smile! ! An unseasonal little shower of rain fell here, and a lot of butterflies drowned, so we put them in the sun and they came back to life, and flew up and then Agaat SMILED!

About This Quote

This is a saying that was told to me by my grandmother and it always makes me smile. It brings back memories of my grandmother and the way she would always put the fear of god into us when we did something wrong. She would always say “First smile!! An unseasonal little shower of rain fell here, and a lot of butterflies drowned, so we put them in the sun and they came back to life, and flew up and then Agaat SMILED!!” And we all knew we better be good for we were going to get smacked!! You can also use this quotation in your emails, tweets, status updates and texts to make your friends laugh and make them feel good.
