Yawning is contagious!

[guidofatherof5]

I've always heard that yawning is contagious and have experienced it myself. I have watched someone yawn and within a second or 2 I'm doing the same thing.

A few months ago I observed something with a group of 3 month old Radixs. As my daughter(Hailee) and I were looking in the encloser and commenting on how wonderful our little scrubs were. One of them yawned. A second later at least 10 of the other little scrubs did the same thing. My daughter and I broke out laughing. Some things must just be universal! Life would be so boring without these little creatures.

Have any of you observed this type of behavior?

I don't know but I yawned as soon as I read this.

I was in Korea in 84, spent 4 months in Taegu, then they moved me back to Seoul. there was a walkin gate by the vet clinic I worked at, was about 50 yards from our barracks....we could leave work, walk to the barracks, change out of our uniforms, and be in a bar in Itaewon in half an hour (and we did that on many an occasion ) had lots of fun there!!!!! I did go up to Camp Red Cloud and work one day, wanted to stay there, nicer vet to work for, but they would not let me......the vet I worked for sucked.....

Steve, I have never seen any "mass yawning?

That picture of Cain that looks like he wants to eat my camera, was really a big yawn in progress.

Elliot, I smiled when I read this.....
