Snacking Make Me Cough Harder And Harder!

Description: I’m a snack girl through and through, so i thought it would be fun to share my favorites with you. hair down, shoulders bare, a jar of nuts in my hand, i chat while i pour the jar of nuts directly into my mouth and start chewing. unfortunately, in my excitement to let you in on my faves, my chattiness while chomping sends one tiny speck to the wrong spot and it lodges in a tonsil. the throat tickle is immediate, and i start with dry, wheezy, sputtering coughs. it builds. i don’t help the situation by trying to talk in my feeble attempt to explain why i’m now coughing and what caused it. nope. it triggers more. little coughs sharpen into loud, raking, throat-burning bursts that almost double me over, my tongue peeking out as i fight to get air for the next eruption. finally, after trying hard to push through and failing miserably, i admit defeat, promise to get it under control, and tell you i’ll see you a bit later. later comes and we’re in my room, just hanging out. i’m giddy again, bouncing around in a light pink spaghetti-strap, body-hugging sheer dress with messy buns to match, clutching another favorite snack i want to show off. you’re close enough to take in my face and my whole midsection while i scoop a big spoonful of homemade trail mix. the moment, and i mean moment, i take the bite, a piece sticks in the other tonsil (ya know, because i apparently like symmetry, so that means food getting stuck in both tonsils, both times i try to eat a snack) and lights it up. the coughs come on fast. dry wheezes snowball into loud, honking hacks that rake through me. my throat convulses, my stomach clenches and jumps under the dress, and my tongue hangs out of my open mouth as the fit ramps up in intensity. talking clearly makes it worse, so i make a zip-the-lips gesture to stop myself from triggering another round and decide to call it for the day with a sheepish wave. i just wanted to share my favorite snacks and ended up sharing something else instead: open-mouthed, tongue-out, doubled-over, belly-clenching coughs sent straight at your face.
