Bubble Gum

I am very sad to say that I have no pictures right now.  Our computer died and is at the HP repair center getting fixed.  So now all I can do is write stories.  This pains me so much that I wasn't going to post until the computer came back because I like pictures (let's face it, people want to see pictures, not just read long stories), but Phud suggested that I post a story.  So I thought I would show him how much I love him by  joyfully taking his suggestion.  So, now on to our bubble gum story...  

Charis has a new found passion for bubble gum.  We broke down at Easter and put bubble gum in some of the eggs that we hid.  Well, little did we know that it was going to create a monster!  Charis will chew the same piece of gum ALL day long!  Even if it loses its flavor after 5 minutes.  She found our stash in our closet last week.  So after nap one day we heard little steps in our room upstairs.  I knew it was Charis!  Sure enough, down the stairs she came with her mouth full of a fresh piece of bubble gum.  To make a long story short, that night she did the same thing at bedtime.  I made her spit the gum out and about an hour later I thought I heard something again in my room upstairs.  We didn't go check until about 30 min. later.  Then when we went up to go to bed, Phud went in to check Charis and thought maybe he should check her mouth just in case and sure enough....there was a wad of gum in her mouth while she was sleeping!!!!! 

So we finally used our brain and moved the stash up high.  The next morning I caught Charis in our room frantically looking around.  I asked her what was wrong (knowing exactly what was wrong) and she threw her hands up and exclaimed, "I can't find my gum anywhere and I don't know what to do."  It was so funny.  She was truly flustered!
