How many
times have you wondered what would happened if just you held your
tongue and closed your mouth? Well, to me it occurred hundreds of
times. Actually I remember in detail one situation in particular, I
opened my mouth and something terrible occurred.
Out of
nowhere, I was dealing with a problem that could have been avoided.
But this time was different, I actually felt fear, that I was in
danger now, and something is needed to be done. It did not feel
right, this sensation preoccupied me, something was not right with me
after my big mouth was opened.
Let me tell
you how this situation started, I was walking with my dog, it was
early in the morning, the sun was shining, listening my music as
usual, when I ran into my little cousin Johnny, who sheared me some
candy and asked me several questions about his parents, who where
getting a divorce. He was at the early age of asking everything, and
why ?, was his favorite phrase, and I answered his doubts. When I
continued my walk, a phew meters from there I suddenly paralyzed and
entered into some sort of shock, I immediately regretted having
opened my mouth, this usually brings consequences, but it seemed to
never thought me a lesson. I could not talk anymore, and felt like no
one could help me at this point. Desperation made me ran back home,
almost choking my dog.
Finally,
when I arrived home no one was there, my heart was still beating and
my hands were sweating. Anyway this feeling soon began to fade away.
I called my parents, my brother and even my friends. I needed to know
what happened to me in the park. That ugly sensation that was
pestering my mouth.
When a
friend of mine answered my call, he laughed at me for a while. -You
are such a fool he said. I cant believe you-d never had one of those
before-. My mouth wasn’t really falling apart, or exploding,
nothing was wrong with me, the panic was uncalled for, the candy was
meant to be an explosive lollipop. Those tingly sensations which were
unfamiliar to me were harmless.
