THE BENAC FAMILY GALLERY OF SMILES

In which a certain member of the Fam demonstrates time-honored expressions of gaiety, shyness, madness, etc.

Can you match the photo to the smile?

Just One More
Perfected by sister Mary, who detests cooperating with any photographer, anywhere..

The Field Trip
Often used in large group photos, in which a Benac smiles so hard they cut off the circulation to the bridge of the nose.

The Lip Touch
in which the centers of the lips touch, with the sides open to a tantalizing stretch of teeth.

The Lovely Model
The most alluring smile of all, perfected by Annies twin, Catherine, and imitated everywhere.

The Manic Billy
In which the smile hints at a mood near to bursting out of control, as perfected by brother Billy.

The Wallflower
Used by young Benac girls at ballroom dance class, hoping they will be invited to join in the fun...

I Have Braces
The smile worn by Benacs who are eager to hide their unsightly orthodontic secrets.
