I saw an article today that said that scientists are not sure why we yawn. A few even confessed that the fact that yawns are contagious makes the mystery even deeper. I think that these scientists are blockheads.
Isn't it obvious?
We yawn because we subliminally hope someone will toss an M&M in our mouth. Then those around us see us expecting a free M&M and open their mouths in hopeful expectation as well. You don't think so? Well, next time you have a group of three year olds and one yawns, toss an M&M in that open mouth. See if all the other three year olds don't yawn too.
Like a toddler in a snowstorm, I am somewhat interesting and somewhat frightening to behold. I write simply because I can, but also to give my wife a break from the witty reparte. I am the proud husband to the bravest person I know (Mrs. Underdog). As the father of five tenacious, awe-inspiring children (the Pups #1-5), I am yours truly: the Underdog.
