Alternate Spelling: Mit Einem Smileyfäce

In German class a while ago I was talking to Amisha, who sits next to me. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I think we were checking papers or something. I wanted to put an emoticon on hers, and I figured I'd add some German, so I wrote mit einem :). When I went to point it out I realized that I had no idea how to say emoticon...so I went with ,,mit einem Smiley Face." We now say this quite often, wherever one might have inserted a :), had one been on AIM.
