The frame was yawning while dining. It would be bad form, for sure, to yawn with one's mouth full.

Given that yawning is involuntary and even contagious, I'd be hard pressed to condemn it. I agree it would be kinder to stifle a bored yawn, if possible, but otherwise....

"However yawns arise, and whatever they signify, such a spontaneous copying response to a second person's signal of mood is an unmistakable sign of empathy; of an ability to understand and to react to someone else's state of mind."

Once upon a time I had a horse that had a contagious yawn.
