I never knew what this phrase meant until we adopted older kids. I didn't understand what a "bad taste in ones mouth" had to do with anything.
But now I know.
After several unpleasant conversations in the last hour my mouth tastes awful. It's a result of some chemical that the body produces when adrenaline is pumping or cortisol or something as a result of stress.
The thing is, it isn't even tough stuff I'm dealing with. It's just little things, one after another, that build up -- and it most likely has to do with stress about other things as well.
