The Wonderful World of Spit

I'm constantly amazed at the endless ways Mathison finds to play with his spit. There's the classic "let it run down the chin onto the shirt" approach, the "blowing bubbles" technique, and, of course, the favorite "spray it all out into someone else's face with a giant raspberry" maneuver. And if these activities grow boring, one can always see how long a string of spit can dangle from a lip before hitting the floor or a toy. Mathison has recently discovered that if he lets his saliva pool in his mouth, he can have fun a) slurping it all up and in as you would with a straw or b) gargling it. So all I can say as I finish wiping up another puddle of saliva is - ah, the wonders of spit!
