I sat outside class this afternoon, tea in hand and headphones placed deep within my earlobes, watching people pass. Down the way, approximately 10 feet from my very pleasant seat, a girl began to yawn. I watched her face stretch to accommodate her ever widening mouth and soon enough, the yawn hit capacity. The girl continued to walk with her face stretched taught and mouth wide open, tilted slightly up while I started to laugh wondering when this epic yawn would end. Time continued (approaching approximately 20 or so seconds) and still she yawned with her absurd facial expression held. Eventually her face slackened and the giant cavity sealed; the girl carried on her way and I went to class. It was a beautiful moment in my life.

reading this post made me yawn (i just realized that might be construed as yawning because it was so boring, which is funny, but not what i meant). what is up with the creepy contagion that is yawning? also, i learned a new word: Pandiculation is the term for the act of stretching and yawning simultaneously.[2]

in elementary school i had to write a story that explained why yawning was contagious. i wrote about a princess who swallowed a bug and spent the rest of her life with her mouth open hoping to release the bug. all of the people in the land were forced to walk around, mouth breathing, to honor the princess. and that, my friends, explains why yawning is contagious. or something. also, of relevance, the princess was named after my pet dog Sophie.
