“Hey there you seem really nice and I think we should be buddies and hang out and do stuff and we can play or do whatever you want it’s totally cool with me because I’m super mellow and I promise I won’t bug you or get on your nerves and stuff so can we be buddies now, OK bye.”
Today is Tongue-out Tuesday, which is an opportune moment to acknowledge a truth we often suppress: Sometimes a tongue just wants to escape for a while. It’s nothing personal, but it can get frustrating being cooped up in the same head, tasting the same food, and never experiencing the wider world. So if your tongue makes a break for it, don’t panic. It’ll be back.
