(T&G News Service): "That does keep you nice and quiet, but I now know I can't trust you.  You will be trying to get that noisy mouth free the second I'm out of the room.  Let me think...I know...A nice headscarf will prevent you from working the silk scarf off of your mouth...I'll have to tie it tightly"

I could only watch while she folded another one of my neighbor's silk scarves into a triangle and 'fashionably' tied it as a headscarf over my head.  It was tied very tightly forcing my mouth closed.

But she wasn't done..."I was thinking that this nice silk scarf might slip off of your head.  If that happened, you would be able to work the scarf off of your mouth and perhaps force the stuffing past the handkerchief holding it in place.  I remember my mama showing me how women wearing headscarves would use bobby pins to hold a headscarf in place.  I found these large bobby pins in the bathroom...they are a bit on the large size, but they should complete your gag nicely.
