I’ve been accused. By none less than my Italian true love.
Of occasionally being an incessant talker. I can talk, talk, talk. Dominate a
conversation. With a monologue. Maybe to the point of annoying others. Because
they have difficulty getting a word in. Edgewise. Really, I tell my true love. It’s part of my
fast-evolving shtick. My comedy routine. I wish to some day become a loquacious
stand-up comic. But she thinks it’s no joke. That I’m a natural born big mouth.
In fact, the Czech words for ‘big mouth’ became my nickname when growing up.
Yes, my brother, my sister, even my dear mother, dubbed me something that
sounded like ‘vulca huba.’ Can’t vouch
for that being the correct spelling. But when I speak it in front of Czechs. They know. Instantly. That I may have
the world’s biggest mouth. I practice, however, keeping my mouth shut. By writing,
writing, writing. Non-stop. –Jim Broede
