Mom always warned me that flies would fly into my mouth because I never covered my mouth when I laughed. Now I love to watch Japanese TV or Iron Chef, where the Japanese movie stars cover their mouths with delicate white hands. I throw my head back and laugh even louder and harder. She also told me that when I stomped my feet in anger, I would stop growing. Hmmm, given my small stature, she could have been right there.
