Jabber Jaws

This term is one of the best to describe the character of people. It relates to so many, yet it can have a negative or positive connotation. Everybody knows someone who just keeps talking and talking and talking. After awhile, you just want that person to stop talking and rambling. For me, I met one of those persons today.

Today there was a meeting held at our house for my French class' trip to France this summer. I have never been before, and my parents had decided that this would probably be the cheapest price he would ever be offered to go to France. Also, he would be going with his friends and his teachers. So at the meeting, many of the parents of the students also came. The trip leader and my mother had decided that it would be good if we had some sort of fund raising before the trip, and that money would go towards the kids' fees. So to help get money, we would need parent participation, which is why many of the parents were there. One parent there is especially a jabber jaw. She couldn't shut up, and she had to give her opinion about every single subject we talked about. Whether it was raising money or what her son was to be seeing on the trip, her opinion seemed utmost important. She was quite annoying, and now when I think about a jabber jaw I think about her.

Nobody wants to be around a jabber jaw, especially when the jabbering is irrelevant to what is actually going on. Thankfully, this particular parent is not going on the trip, but I now realize that there are some jabber jaws who I'll have to live with. There are some people in this world that think that they are the most important people in the world, and they think that what they to have to say supercedes everyone else's reasoning and ideals. I hope that I am never like that in my life, and I am sorry if I have ever been like that. I think it is also important that I am always evaluating my ideals and my personality. The world changes all the time, so I believe that people must change also. Hopefully this means that jabber jaws will become less jabbery, and will become more friendly and conscientious. I wouldn't mind if a jabber jaw became a lockjaw, would you?
