How do you get a mouse to smile?
Say cheese!
Dad Joke Classic
Did You Know?
Photographers say "cheese" to make people smile, while mice love cheese! The phrase "say cheese" emerged in the 1940s because pronouncing the word naturally forms a smile shape. Interestingly, mice don't actually prefer cheese over other foods - they're more attracted to grains, fruits, and foods high in sugar. The mouse-loves-cheese stereotype likely comes from medieval times when cheese was commonly stored in homes where mice lived!
