It’s not the ears popping, it’s the jaw popping that gets to me. Especially the weird way it feels for a while afterward. >.< Only makes it worse that I had jaw surgery back in high school so even though the rational part of my brain knows that healed over with new bone LONG ago, the irrational part of my brain can't help but fret over whether or not I broke something.
Protip: It is much more satisfying at the end of a yawn or especially when stretching if you make loud noises such as the Tasmanian Devil might. Yes you look and sound silly. But who cares? Also, when sneezing do it as loud as you can. Very satisfying. Seriously, try it, you’ll thank me.
I think I will try sneezing into my electric mega-phone at some point. That should be VERY satisfying.
But more importantly, I kind of have to completely agree with Rand, if you are going to sneeze/fart/cough/yawn, then just do so and don’t feel ashamed about your body and it’s functions and systems. I really hate seeing people try to suppress those sort of things cause it is impossible. At least for me it is.
@Rand Oh yeah, I always end up making these little screeching sounds when I yawn/stretch. Life demands sound effects, and I feel obligated to supply them!
Thanks! Not yet. I started over reading the series to my son and thought it would be cool to read the last book together. So I’m trying really hard to resist just reading it.

I have a hard time getting through the last couple of books he put out before passing away, but the author they brought in to finish his work was able to regrab the writing style of the first book and I love that. It’s good. Good luck holding out lol.

I hate it when I pull a mussel (wrong word, I know) yawning. It is sore for an hour afterwards as well.

As my fifth grade teacher told us, never pass by a teach-able moment:
muscle (plural muscles) – (uncountable) A contractile form of tissue which animals use to effect movement.
mussel (plural mussels) – A small edible bivalve shellfish of the families Unionidae and Mytilidae

On a somewhat related note: apparently the wikitionary thinks that ‘mouse’ is a related term to ‘mussel’

I feel for you girl. I too have yawned “too hard” and hurt something. It’s weird, because then you feel like yawning but resist it because of pain.

I especially hate it when my ears pop…weirdly…in addition the near-unhinging of my jaw.
I doubt that made sense!

When ever I yawn in public i try to make it look like the lions from the discovery channel. I figure you might as well try to impress some people.
SurlyQueen
Haha! That is so great. I’m stealing your idea.
