Keeping an Open Mind

I always thought it was good to keep an open mind...it showed you were open to other people's opinions. But the trouble is, as you get older and you have an open mind, stuff starts spilling out. I've always been the kind who put my foot in my mouth all too often. But now that I'm really old, I'm shocked at the things that come out of my mind when it's open. And if I am shocked, think how shocked listeners are likely to be.
