Don't Mumble!

Amy and Brian are snuggled up together on the couch in front of the fireplace. That cold fall weather has come. Snuggled up, and from time to time talking. Brian is going, "Ummmmm, well, hmmmm, yeah..."

Amy says, "Brian, don't mumble so!"

Brian: "Ummmmmmhh?"

Amy sighs. "I said, don't mumble! Why don't you speak clearly?!"

"Mmmmmh, ahhhh, Ah d'nno..."

"Listen!" Amy reaches up with her right hand and lays her long slender fingers loosely across Brian's lips. "Now repeat after me, 'I will not mumble when I speak'..."

"Ah w'll nahh mumm'l wen Ah h'mmeek." With Amy's fingers across his mouth, this is as clearly as Brian is able to speak.

"No!" Amy giggles, then presses her fingers down more firmly over Brian's lips. "Now try it again: 'I will not mumble when I speak.'"

"Mmmh w'hhh nhhh mmmm'uhh wmmm mmmh hm'eeee'."

Amy laughs. "Now I can hardly understand you at all! What is it with you, Brian, can't you speak more clearly?" More laughter. Now Amy shifts her hand until she has her palm cupped loosely in front of Brian's lips. "All right," says Amy like a naughty schoolmarm, "Now say something, and I'll see if I can understand you. And don't mumble!"

"W'uhhh ihhh hahhh f'ww mee hu hawk wi'h yaww ha' aw'uh m'mahh!"

Amy: "'Well it's hard for me to talk with your hand over my mouth!' You're doing better, Brian, but you're still mumbling." Amy presses her large warm soft palm down more firmly over Brian's mouth. "Now you try it again. And don't mumble so much!" Amy laughs.

"W'mmmm mmm hhmmm ph' mmm hmm hmmmm wmmm ymmm hmmmm mm'mmm mh'mmmmmh!"

"Oh!" Mock exasperation from Amy. "I think that's the same thing, but it's hard to tell. Brian, you're mumbling so, I can hardly even understand what you're trying to say!" Now Amy clamps her hand in place quite tightly over Brian's mouth, her thumb up alongside his nose. Brian's eyes look surprised, with Amy's big long beautiful creamy smooth hand fastened so tight over his mouth, and this makes Amy giggle.

"Mmmmmmmmmmhhh! Mmmm mmm hmmm mmmh hhmmmm mmm'mm mmm mmmmmmh HHMM HMMMMMMH! Mhhh, MMMMMMMMMMMHHH"

Amy is laughing until tears run from her eyes. "Oh honey, you're mumbling so badly, I haven't the slightest idea what you want to say! If you can't talk any better than that, I don't think I'm going to let you talk at all any more!"

"MMMMMMMMHHHH! Mmmmm, MMMMHH! Mmmmm, MMMMHHH!"

"No, just you shush! Since you're such a mumblemouth, I'm just going to keep my hand over your mouth!" And Amy snuggles up close against Brian in front of the fireplace, her large warm soft feminine hand kept clamped fast over his mouth.

Brian's eyes darting back and forth in mock alarm. "Mmmmmmhhh, hmmm mmmmm HHHMMMMMMMM!!"

"Just you be quiet! I'm not going to let you talk, and I'm not going to let you go!"

"MMMMMMMMMMMMHHHH!!"
