Does this happen to you when you yawn?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’ve never had my eyes water no, but I do this little involuntary shake right after a particularly big yawn. What’s all that about? I dunno, why are you asking me? The wife has been known to throw peanuts at my gob mid yawn. Spoils the sensation somewhat, but it keeps her amused.
