I am fascinated by snakes. My mom, however, is completely terrified of them. That is why I am so proud she was able to keep a stiff upper lip while attending a special reptile event with me at the nature center. She hid her feelings, appeared calm, and even reached out to touch a snake that I was holding.

What does it mean to keep a stiff upper lip?
