Yawning - why ?

Why do we yawn especially when someone else does ?
I've only to think of yawning - and I yawn, very discreetly, of course

Re: Yawning - why ?

I’m convinced you have psychic powers Patsy, only this morning my grandson was here, he was getting very tired but wouldn’t take his nap, I had a brainwave and I went to youtube and got the song from the film ‘Tom Thumb’ called ‘The Yawning Man’, I had him on me lap and I played it twice, he was out before the end of the last one. If I knew how to put it up on here I would and It’s guaranteed to make you yawn.
Back to your question, I haven’t the faintest idea how yawning works but if I yawn in front of the dog he yawns too so it transfers across to some animals, there might be a clue there for the experts to work on.

Thanks Mags, that'll have them all falling asleep for the rest of the afternoon.

Re: Yawning - why ?

That was FUNNY but, surprisingly, it didn't make me yawn. I don't about the rest of you but, everyday, I have ten minutes or so when I can't stop yawning. I seem to recall that it's something to do with excess CO2 in your bloodstream.

My God Alan you're a very composed man if that didn't make you yawn, well done you.

If we yawn, then Molly the parrot yawns.
