MY MOUTH

My wife is often pointing out to me that I have something on the edge of my mouth; biscuit crumbs, for example or a smear of marmelade. Since I don't think that I have any trouble eating, my latest theory is that the shape of my mouth has something to do with it.

And so today I had a close look at it. In the mirror and with my glasses on. It's an ordinary sort of mouth in my opinion, but it is also the case that it has two small creases in the corners. Not big enough to make eating difficult, but big enough to catch the odd crumb or two if I am not careful. Which I promise to try and be in the future.
