Speaking of Contagions…

“OK, kid, let me show you how it’s done. You wait until they’re just sitting around and they seem kind of bored and they’ve been looking at you for a few minutes, and then you do a really big yawn and that’ll set them off. Here, you try it.”

Hmn, that looks like more of a “whassaaap?” (Imgur)

There’s something we all wouldn’t mind catching, Arne.

    Good to see the kids are still learning during these crazy days.

    Works even through a picture. I yawned. Now I’m trying to see if it works on birds.

    (No, it doesn’t.)

      Can birds yawn..?

        Here at Cutetropolis we’re asking the important questions!

        Now, I’m curious. googles Yep. Birds can and do yawn. It’s not just the kids that are learning.

          I learned something new today. Can’t say I’ve seen a boirdee yawn. If we’re going to catch something contagious, let it be something as harmless as a yawn.

            Please? I just watched ABC’s special broadcast at 7:30. It’s terrifying and I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the numbers. And the field hospital in Central Park. And the refrigerated trucks… And and… (And then I saw something on facebook about our “very smart” president apparently wondering how NYC hospitals suddenly need hundreds of thousands of masks…and implying that they’re being stolen and sold by employees…??)

            How is it any part of life seems to be anything like normal when that is going on less than 60 miles away? Yet here I am, watching Family Feud (no! don’t shake hands!!!) and commenting on the internet. And I don’t know how to process that…

              Wish I could give you a big hug Allein. This is truly a scary time. 💕

              Sending hugs and comforting purrs. Remember, it’s okay to run around your apartment screaming for no reason at all.

          Snakes yawn too! It’s kinda weird looking because of that whole unhinging jaw thing, but it’s still cute.

      • kermit March 30, 2020 / 8:47 pm

        They can yawn, but can they fart?

        • Blue Footed Booby March 30, 2020 / 8:55 pm

          Apparently there is no evidence that they do. From what I can google, no one’s really sure if they don’t, or if the gas just leaks out gradually rather than all at once.

          Seals, however, definitely do.

            Okay, we go from one end of the body spectrum to the other end, in this post. We are an interesting, probably stir crazy bunch of cutetropolis fans, trying to stay sane and healthy, while waiting out this evil virus. That’s the reason we need this daily cute. Thanks NTMTOM.
