Keeping My Mouth Shut

Over the course of the years, I have learned there are times when keeping one's mouth shut is absolutely essential.

For example, I have learned to always clamp my mouth tightly shut before doing any of the following:

1) Filling the bird feeder.
2) Feeding the cats.
3) Cleaning the litter box.
4) Giving the cat or dog its medicine.
5) Painting the ceiling.
6) Changing a diaper.
7) Watching Canadian geese fly over head.
8) Planting the garden.

It is much easier to wash hands than it is to wash a mouth out. And a lot less distasteful.
