Have you ever had someone point out something that you do subconsciously, something that is somewhat embarrassing but you've never known about before? In that moment you are completely vulnerable. Why? Because like talking in your sleep, it's not something that you are aware of. You have been living your whole life doing something that you didn't realize. At least for me it makes me feel like I'm not in control.Last week my girlfriend, Katelin, was so kind as to point out that I almost always blow on my food before I take a bite, even if there is no need. She's noticed it for a long time, but watching me cool a granola bar before taking a bite was the last straw and she couldn't hold in her laughter any longer. I didn't believe her right away, I mean, come on... if I blew on my food before every bite, I would so know it.
I asked my mom if she has ever noticed it, and she said no. I was starting to feel a little better, banking on Kate just being wrong. However, my sister instantly, with no hesitation, knew exactly what Kate was talking about.

Liam, were you a boy scout? Did you go camping as a child?
I was, and I did, and people point out that while eating I subconsciously shake my food slightly. Holding a sandwich? I'll be moving it slightly back and forth in between bites. It's so the bugs don't land on it.
