Small Talk

During a conversation, have you ever noticed the other person "mouthing" the words as you speak to them?

That is the weirdest thing.

And I used to do it. Alot. To prevent this from happening, I've formed a habit of keeping my mouth shut when someone speaks to me.

I notice a lot of people on t.v. doing it during interviews. It looks embarrassing.

When people do that to me I cannot finish what I'm saying. I have to take a brief moment to collect myself because it makes you want to laugh. I almost want to say, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking ?"

But, I have really become accustomed to keeping my mouth closed when someone is talking to me. People constantly have to remind me to smile. I guess I look as if I'm in a bad mood or something.

Whatever.

I used to talk alot when I was a kid though. Whenever my sisters had company I would take it upon myself to entertain them. I remember reading books to them and thinking certain parts were hilarious but I guess teenagers weren't really into Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Once I got so talkative I taught one of the guests how to break into our house. The next day the door was all boarded up. Was it something I said?
