A special talent

Thomas and I get the biggest kick out of this, but Ryan is an amazing gleaker! You may be asking yourself, "what does gleak mean?" Well, that's a great question. I became familiar with this term from Thomas years ago and was delighted (???) to realize that Ryan is the master gleaker.

To gleak: verb describing the action when saliva is shot out from the salivary holes under the tongue of the mouth. It is caused by the contracting of the muscles in the mouth. Thanks to Urban Dictionary for that insightful definition.

So there you have it. We get the daily dose of gleaking from Ryan. He typically does it in the evenings and mornings when we are giving him his medicine, which is mixed with either apple sauce or greek yogurt. As soon as he sees that spoon coming towards him, that mouth opens and the fountain is ignited! It is seriously the funniest thing! It really shoots out of there!

I got Thomas and Stokes to take a video of Ryan's famous gleaking. Can you see it?



The aftermath!
Can you see the "evidence" of the gleaking
in the reflection on the table?

This is a real talent. I don't think I can purposefully do it myself. Try it at home, preferrably when there's no one else around, to see if you possess this talent and can challenge Ryan for the master gleaker.

This is all in good fun. We DO think it's hilarious that Ryan does this all the time!
