Mouth Etiquette

They say real ladies don’t spit
Then what in the salava to do with it
Just hold it in 
With a grin
Or learn to swallow another trick

Lol this has an innocent little story. I suffer from post nasal drip constant sinusitis since I was a young child like 7. I would spit and was admonished by aunts saying that’s not lady like to spit. But my male teacher caught me swallowing it gagging and said girl spit that out!

Lolol that is exactly what I would have told you! You have to excuse me Karen, I get in my silly mind and share with poor non-volunteered poets ;) Clarification, certain poets. I do not joke with all.
