Yawning is like a social signal. When someone yawns, it might make other people feel sleepy or curious, and before they know it, they yawn too! It’s almost like a secret language that friends use to connect with each other.
Examples
- When your best friend yawns at the dinner table, you can't help but yawn too.
- You're watching a movie and the person next to you starts yawning, soon everyone in the theater is yawning together.
- Your teacher yawns loudly while explaining math, and suddenly the whole class begins to yawn.
