Title interpretation: The Big Mouth in Spanish!
I am amazed how the mouth gets people in trouble! I love to talk and that is not a great thing sometimes. I think that one of my horrible flaws that I do is take the mother role with people...when they aren't asking for advice---I GIVE IT anyway! I know I must drive them nuts and I am working on trying to be aware and listen rather than advise...but advising is so much fun!! I have thought of going into school counseling before, but I don't think I ever will. Maybe I could host a Dr. Karen show(like the Dr. Laura show--not that I like her harsh blunt tactics) and have an avenue of giving advice!! Today, after opening my mouth too much with a friend of mine, I read my Floridian blog friend's entry and it was many quotes about the mouth. So, I am going to be posting mouth/word quotes to the right when I think of it! I think my favorite is this one:
The only substitute for brains is silence. I am going to start with that one and another one. If you have any good ones, leave me a comment and I will add it to my list to use!

I love good quotes... those were definitely a little bit convicting, weren't they? I definitely! need to learn to keep my mouth shut at certain times.
Yes, they were very convicting!! Thanks for posting...very helpful and good timing!

Here's an oldie but a goodie...
God gave us two ears but only one mouth for a reason...
I have the same trouble sometimes. I'm learning, though. And sometimes it's actually freeing to not feel like I HAVE to talk - even when there's uncomfortable silence.
