When I was in second grade, I asked why they hesitated before they said “face”. If I remember correctly, my mom said something about hesitating before saying body parts. Now, finally, I understand why they paused!
@Kitsu_ItezaCreates4 ай бұрын
No, it's actually because they said, "Please keep off on the grass, shine your shoes, wipe your-" and they were about to say a$$ but then said, "face." that's actually the real reason. I also thought it was pretty funny.
