It is almost a given that at some point (usually in the early-teen years) every kid turns to their parents and says something like, “Why do I HAVE to go to Church?” We got this very question submitted to us through the ldswhy e-mail this week. We partially answer this question in our chapter “Why Should I Keep the Sabbath Day Holy?” and thought it might be good to re-print it here:
YAWN
Yawn. How do yawns make you feel? Look at that picture of a yawn. Yawn. Yawn. Yawn. Think about Yawns. Odds are, you might have yawned just now. That’s because seeing yawning is contagious. A researcher at NYU simply showed videos of yawns to 65 college students, and the yawning video caused the students to yawn 41.5% of the time (see “Contagious Yawning,” November 2003, http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/yawnc.html; accessed 29 January 2010). Most researchers agree that yawning is mentally contagious.
