Be Infectious!

Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu
When someone smiled at me today,
I stated smiling too.

I passed around the corner, and someone saw my grin
When he smiled I realized, I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile, then I realized it's worth,
A single smile just like mine could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected
Let's start a epidemic quick, an get the world infected!

What’s with four-leaf clovers, anyway?

A popular sight around the holiday is the shamrock, or three-leaf clover, linked to Ireland and St. Patrick.

The lucky ones, though, come across something that’s harder to find: a four-leaf clover. That’s because it takes a recessive trait or traits in the clover’s genetics for there to be more than the normal 3 leaves, says Vincent Pennetti, who has been fascinated by the plants since high school.

Four-leaf clovers “are real. They are rare,” he says.

That doesn’t mean they can’t be found. People just have to keep their eyes open and “get really good at noticing patterns and breaks in the patterns, and they just start jumping out at you,” he says.

Katie Glerum finds them. She says it’s not unheard of for her to be somewhere like out in a park and see one. She usually scoops it up and often gives it to someone else, to a positive response.

“If it happened every day, then I probably would be less excited about it,” she says. “But yeah, when it happens, it is exciting.”
