Dear Queenie,
Is it ever okay to yawn in public? My husband thinks yawning is a natural thing. I don’t.
Queenie, what do you think?—Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
Unless one is simply exhausted, a yawn is an indication of boredom, of lack of interest in a conversation or social activity, and one should try not to do it in the presence of others.
