When you remove the air from inside the glass you are creating a difference in pressure compared to the air on the outside of the glass. This means that the inside of the glass "wants" something to fill it up, as your mouth is there it will pull your lips into the glass. The same effect can be seen if you have a half empty glass and try to pull it put of a bowl of water. You will see that the glass will pull some of the water out with it.

The scientific principle behind this can be explain by Boyle's Law which states that "at a constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas varies inversely with pressure"

So if you reduce the pressure then you will reduce the amount of space the gas needs therefore something will need to fill that space, i.e. your mouth

When you suck a straw your mouth gets bigger what happens to the air pressure in your mouth?

When you suck on a straw, the air pressure in your mouth decreases, creating a vacuum that allows the liquid to be drawn up into the straw and into your mouth. This decrease in air pressure is what causes the liquid to move from the higher pressure environment in the glass to the lower pressure environment in your mouth.

How do differences in air pressure cause a liquid to flow through the straw and into your mouth?

The pressure inside your mouth is less than the atmosperehic pressure above the glass. The water is pushed through the straw by this difference in pressure.
