not too sure about .him. Jt's his
aunt that bothers me the most.
This woman has ,a habit of
licking the corners of her mouth
just before she speaks. Her
tongue is abnormally long and
when she does that little Licking

her to quit it. I have done so but
it hasn't helped. Last night when

solution. If I stayed away from
