Reason #75 Not to Give Gum to a 3-Year Old

Wednesday, December 12, 2007

Yesterday after Colm’s naptime, that did not involve napping, I noticed he had something in his mouth. It was gum, but I hadn’t given him any. When I asked him about it he said it was old gum. Where did he get it? He told me he got it from a book in his room. (Please, dear God, don’t let it be a library book.) I asked him if it was a library book and he said it wasn’t. (Heavy sigh of relief.) I asked him to spit the gum out in the trash…I am still not exactly sure where the gum came from.
