NaBloPoMo Advice Column - Day 15 - Loose Lips Sink Ships

This evening, Helen flashed a smile to me at dinner and related the following tale.

Today at snack, I was trying to trick Miss A., so I started coughing so much that she would think I was sick. Then P. started coughing, too, and we were both coughing so, so much that we were definitely tricking Miss A. Then C started coughing too, but not that much. So Miss A. turned our chairs around at the snack table. Then we had to move away from the snack table because P. and I were still coughing so much. Then, we had to go and find our golden manners. Mine were hiding behind the curtain. Then I came back to the snack table but I wasn't coughing anymore.

I never would've known about any of this, except Miss Chattypants can't keep anything to herself. Although by the way she told the story, I'm not even sure it dawned on her that she might be in trouble.

Loose lips sink ships.

Helen has been busy with her make-up kit as well.
