What Did You Say?

Yesterday I went to the bank to deposit a few checks. When I walked up to the teller to ask for a deposit slip she tried to answer, yawning the whole time. Then she tried to answer again, again yawning all the while. She realized how futile it was and just handed me the slip.

I had three checks to deposit and there were only two lines for checks on the slip. I asked her what I should do. You guessed it, she yawned through her explaination. I mentioned in a joking fashion that it was starting to get rediculous. To which she replied by nodding her head in the affirmative and...YAWNING.

Now, I would not have posted about this, but, today I was conversing on the phone with one of my friends(yes I actually have a few) and as he was saying something to me. He yawned through it. The worst part was that, after yesterday, I think I am learning how to speak yawn(no comments accepted on this point by the Steph), because, I actually understood him.

This reminded me of an incident way back in 8th grade history class. My instructor, Mr. F, was very fun and would always toy with us students. One day we were having a discussion on yawning and how it is contagious. Well, one girl in class made a huge deal about how she was immune to the infectious yawn. For the rest of the day Mr. F made it a point to yawn every so often, trying to get this girl to yawn. Finally, toward the end of the hour, Mr. F was walking around while we were taking a quiz. He stopped several seats behind this young lady and yawned. Shortly there after, the yawn took hold of the girl. Histerics insued, as Mr. F started to dance around the room yelling in a sing song manner, "I made you yawn. I made you yawn."

He collected the quizes informed us that we all got an A and let us sit around for the remainder of the class period talking.
