Bite Your Tongue

9/4/2012

In an effort not to say something one might regret, this term alludes to holding the tongue between the teeth. Shakespeare used it in 2 Henry VI (1:1): "So York must sit and fret and bite his tongue."

Such is life if we are to have peace in relationships, at work and with friends.  Those who have not learned this simple procedure of holding your tongue between your teeth  will eventually have no friends with which to wag their tongue.  My mothers admonition of always think before you speak brings harmony to a home where closer friendships are able to thrive.

This simple technique takes only a moment

1.  Place tip of tongue between your teeth
2.  Bite gently
3.  Count to 10 out-loud
4.  Notice how difficult it is to talk when holding your tongue and how foolish you sound
5.  Laugh heartily and move on

Those who may, or may not be deserving of your wrath will also be laughing and confused with your tongue biting
