Dimples

Dimples are these little tiny holes or bumps that some people have on their faces. They usually appear when someone smiles. Have you ever noticed that some people have these little craters on each side of their face when they smile? Well, those are dimples!

Now, let's talk about what causes dimples. Dimples happen when there is a tiny gap in the muscles of a person's face. When the person smiles, the skin stretches and forms a little indentation where the gap is, and that's what we call a dimple!

Some people have dimples because it's something they inherited from their parents or grandparents. It's like a little genetic trait that runs in their family. But not everyone can have dimples, even if they want them. It really just depends on their genes.

Some people think that dimples are cute and make a person look more attractive. But it's important to remember that everyone is perfect just the way they are, with or without dimples.
