You can’t chew gum in bed
My Mom HATES gum and so I had to sneak it into the house growing up (I hid it where I kept my Janet Jackson and Public Enemy tapes). For some reason she would get annoyed when I had 4 squares of bubblicious in my mouth(mind you I couldn’t talk and could barely breath) It tasted good for me (for the 5 seconds that bubblicious has it’s flavour) but for mom it left a bad taste in her mouth … so it wasn’t allowed in the house.
I thought I was smart enough to hide it from her until that grateful day where I forgot to spit it out before bed (O.K. confession here; I don’t think I’ve EVER spit out a piece of gum, I’ve eaten every single piece I’ve ever chewed … and I am still alive) Not realizing the dire effects that hair+sticky gum+active sleep patterns=a big ball of hair candy.
I can’t remember if she cut the chunk out of my hair or gave me a new hair cut? All I can remember is that I never did it again.
There’s a lesson in there but today I’ll decide to let you enjoy the story

We cut the gum out of your hair and as I remember it…there was one very unhappy little boy! Shouldn’t have been chewing gum anyway!!
