Until earlier this summer, Charlotte and Luke had never tried chewing gum before.
That is, until the girl next door brought some over to share while they were playing on the swing set.
Charlotte and Luke were both anxious to try it.
“You chew it,” explained their older, more experienced friend (second grade).
Luke put his piece in his mouth, chewed a couple of times, and then promptly swallowed it with a big gulp.
“Luke, what did you think?”
“Good,” he replied, continuing on with his day.
Charlotte’s gum lasted considerably longer as she happily chewed away while swinging.
Apparently, she must have been chewing with her mouth open, because that night, at dinner, we noticed something sticky in her hair.
“Charlotte, what’s this, and how did it get in your hair?
“It’s my gum!” she said. “It came out when I was chewing, and I didn’t know where it went.”
Until then. Another case solved by the Putney Family Detective Agency.
I hope you enjoyed today’s serving of ‘mac & cheese.’
