Cause and Effect

Her wagging tongue left an impression.
He’s being treated for depression.

Oh those with that waffing tongue... I stay away from such people.. I misread it at first, I thought it was about a dog that may have died hahaha.. For example, a dog is a man's best friend.. so when it dies, he can get depressed.. and dog's tongues wag...
