Smack!

From time to time people will ask me a question when I have food in my mouth.  I am unable to answer at that time.  I might want to, but I just can't.

Here is why... when I was growing up, one of the many rules was that you do not talk with food in your mouth.  If you did, my mother would pop up out of her seat, she was lightening quick, and smack you across the mouth.

While I didn't like it when it happened to me, I loved it when it happened to my sisters because food would go flying out of their mouth.

Such treatment leaves a mark on you.  I just can't talk with my mouth full.  Let me chew it up and swallow it and then we can talk.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
