Close your mouth when you chew
Hold it tight or you I will eschew
Eat like a true gentleman or lady
With these rules you won’t look shady

I stressed that issue with my grands. I say; “I do not want you talking with food in your mouth, because the food should not be able to fall out!”
Just really irritating when I see adults talk with food in their mouths.

I heard that most of my childhood. Sometimes, I admit, I fall into that but I can hear my mom still! 🙂
