Ajar

‘Ajar’ means slightly open. It may be a door, or the mouth. Anything that opens and closes may be ajar. When I am in my deep sleep, while sitting in a bus for example, my mouth is slightly open. I remember my son silently laughing at me when he saw me asleep with my mouth ajar. Good thing there were no saliva dripping from my open mouth. When I watch a noontime show and the camera focuses on some of the audience, there are some people whose mouths are ajar. Even when they watch a deadly stunt or get mesmerized by the singing voice of the contestants of a singing competition in that particular noontime show, their mouths are slightly open. I believe they are in awe. This night, our main door is slightly ajar, so my son closed the door tightly. I also sleep with my bedroom door ajar, as precaution if, God forbid, I might have nightmares or health problems again. Do you leave your bedroom doors ajar?
