Don’t bite your tongue

Part 2 of 3

So having parts of your tongue cut off to teach you not to bite your tongue seems a bit extreme, but there’s another learning experience embedded, free of charge! As you might expect, having stitches in your tongue can be quite painful. I was on a liquid diet for a few days, since anything bumping the tongue hurt too much. Talking hurt too.

But what I learned is that even when each word is carved from pain, some are still worth saying! “aye uv oo” (I love you) and “aaat obb” (Great Job – to my daughter who got a hundred on her computer lab work) were well worth the effort. Think about it, if you could only afford ten words a day, what words would you pick?

So, don’t bite your tongue. Share your feelings and thoughts with those around you!
