sweet silence!

What's the worse thing you can do to me? You cannot take my voice, and not because my voice makes a huge impact to those in need or because I have a beautiful singing voice. I just never shut up.

Currently I have a throat infection that has caused my jaw to close leaving me unable to speak. I haven't spoken for 10 hours and I swear imma explode! do you know how many terrible jokes that I haven't told? how many jabs I haven't taken at my sisters outfit for the day, all comedic gold wasted! Instead, I've spent the day playing charades with my family and sounding like an injured whale when I do try to speak. sick days may mean no chores, no school, and pjs all day but is it really worth it?

I know my mom is enjoying the silence, there's no one starting fights with the other kids (all in good fun of course) and no one to mess up the chores! it's a win-win.... I get peanut butter ice cream that's all that matters. Nevertheless, my family will just have to deal with the terrible jokes and roasting sessions when I get back too 100% or at least 95% because heaven knows I can't wait that long! So the next time someone in your family or group of friends loses their voice for a while, enjoy the silence. If they're anything like me they won't stay quiet for long.
