I’ve never been a big fan of chewing gum. I’ve always seen it as a product with a low return on investment. I can usually chew a piece for five or ten minutes before it loses enough flavor that I feel like I’m chewing on a piece of rubber. I may as well just dip a bouncy ball in some sugar and suck on that for a while.
Now that I have children, I am even less a fan of gum. They like to chew it, then take it out of their mouth to play with. It inevitably ends up in the carpet, stuck in some bedding, or even worse, stuck in their hair. This is exactly what happened yesterday.
