Creepy

At our Sock Hop, we ordered several bins of Bazooka Gum. Tink has taken to chewing this gum, All Day Long.
She chews like a teenage Pink Lady and we have had zero negative issues, with gum in hair or carpet. She will chew the same piece for hours, put it in the garbage and then chew another.
I can hear the gasps! from the mothers, who cannot believe we allow our 3 year old to chew gum, but hey...some like a passie, some like a bottle, some like a smoke and our girl likes some pink gum.
You win some, you lose some.
However, this morning, when I finally went to drag Little Miss from her bed at 9:00am... she awoke, chewing the same piece from the night before.
I was immediately repulsed and begged her to get a new piece. She very politely and Tink-like, declined my suggestion and continued with the same piece, now a minimum of 13 hours old.
Friendly reminder, Bazooka gum is awesome...but only for the first 16 minutes. Afterwards, it is immediately void of all flavor.



The very idea of that bland taste, has inspired:
Things that creep the bleep out of me.

1. Chewing cheap gum for 13 hours.
2. When you do not eat your Captain Crunch quick enough, and a film begins to cover your milk.
3. Waking up with a spider bite and realizing that at some point of your peaceful slumber, you were spooning an eight-legged vampire.
4. When Coach, licks his hands/shoes/back to lick/shoes again and then wipes sweat off forehead/finish with shoes again. Before each free throw. Sick.
5. Stepping in something wet, on the kitchen floor, with socks on.
6. Eating Peeps.
7. The moment you slip on your gardening gloves, totally convinced, there is a black widow spider, lurking deep inside.
8. Cleaning the bottom of the kitchen sink drain.
9. Cleaning the toilet, your very distracted, 8 year old son uses.
10. Drinking warm Pepsi.
11. Baby formula puke.
12. The minute, you realize your baby just ate a bug, off the floor.
13. The blond guy, that used to play the guitar in the Saturday Night Live band.
14. Getting food, on the book you are reading.
15. Tiger Woods' text messages.
16. The sound of Styrofoam.
17. Accidentally, touching old gum, under a fast-food table.
18. Cranberry sauce from a can.
