I looked at her quizzically and said, "What job?" 

She stared at me for a moment and then said, “You know. What we were
talking about last night as we were watching TV.” 

I had no idea what she was talking about. I could remember watching TV
the night before, but I had no idea what the conversation was about. 

“You don't mean to tell me you've forgotten already?” 

Last night while watching TV, she talked about some projects she had in
mind, and I wag my tongue in affirmative action. She assumed I knew 
what she was talking about and that I had agreed to that plan. 

If only my tongue had ears, I might not get into so much trouble. 

Now, I need my tongue to wag in a way to get me out of the trouble it
got me into while it was wagging the night before. 

How many right wags does it take to correct one wrong wag? 

It would be wonderful if my tongue were attached somehow to my ears. Or
maybe, better yet, to my brain. 

As I get older this seems to be more of a problem. 

In my dilemma, I thought of a verse of Scripture. "Even so the tongue is
a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter 
a little fire kindleth!” (James 3:5). 

Once you say something, it is impossible to unsay it. My tongue has got
me into more trouble than all the other things in my life. But there's 
one thing about my tongue that can compensate for this. I can use my 
tongue to praise the God who created me.
