“I find out that everybody talks,
everybody talks, everybody talks.”

When you wake up each day, when do you utter your first words? Who is that you’re talking to? Before I became a dog owner, there were days that my first words were on the elevator at work. When my “hello” sounded more like “hggellaow,” I’d realize that’s the first word I’ve said all morning. What’s the longest you’ve gone without speaking? Just for kicks, I may try to go a whole day without speaking. I’ll call it “vocal rest.”
