Mother knows best!
When I speak, they tell me I could keep talking forever. When I’m silent, they tell me I’m the most quiet girl they’ve ever seen.
My mother used to laugh and say that my mouth was like a wind-up toy; but a special one at that. For, she explained, that it didn’t open for anyone and everyone, only for quality people, who I thought deserved it; but once it was open, there was no stopping it.
