Saturday afternoon as we were getting ready to leave the house:
Cassidy: Mom?
Me: MmmHmm
Cassidy: I kinda might have accidentally got gum in my hair.
Me: Wha?
Cassidy: Gum.
*flips hair over head to show me LOTS OF GUM IN HER HAIR WE ARE WALKING OUT THE DOOR IN TWO MINUTES*
Me: How?!
Cassidy: Well, you know in Willy Wonka how Violet sticks the gum…
Me: You stuck gum behind your ear?!
Cassidy: NO!!
Me: Okay? So…
Cassidy: Well, I thought she stuck it to her NECK. So when I got up this morning…
Me: You had GUM stuck to your NECK ALL NIGHT?!
Cassidy: Well, yeah. I had to scrub it off and my hair was stuck to it and look.
*flips hair over head again*
Me: Yes, I see it.
Cassidy: I didn’t know she stuck it behind her ear, I thought she stuck it to her neck.
Me: Gum goes one of two place. IN YOUR MOUTH. IN THE TRASH. Those two places ONLY.
Cassidy: Okay.
Nana cut the gum out later that afternoon. We were already running late and lucky it was UNDER her hair. Silly, silly child.
you’re very lucky. I use to get gum stuck in my hair constantly when I was little. My mom even had all the shampoos that get gum out because it got to the point where she couldn’t cut it out anymore.
