English scholar stepping in (uninvited) again.“As a child, my mother cleaned my face with her spit” is a poorly constructed sentence; literally, it is saying ‘" mother cleaned my face with her spit when she was a child."A better construction would be ’When I was a child. my mother cleaned my face with her spit.’What I offer is simply a suggestion — feel free to ignore it.
