Someday, I'll Learn to Keep My Mouth Shut

Didja ever see a frog go.. "riiibbit"..

Didja notice how it's throat bubbles out and looks like it's gonna burst when it does that?

I know why.

Because it's wanting to say something so bad it can taste it, but wont. It either feels like it shouldn't say anything, or it feels like if it does say something it will
be in trouble for the saying.

So it sits there, and this.. riiiibit escapes, and in a very brave attempt to keep it's mouth shut from saying more, it's very throat holds back the words until it's so full it almost pops.

That's what I need to learn to do. I've been standing in front of the mirror for hours just.. saying.. riiibit and watching to see if I can hold back the words. I know it's going to be a surprise to folks when my throat pops out, but I won't feel good about myself until I master this feat!

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIBBIT!!!
