Bubblicious

My 6 year old is a fanatic gum chewer. I'm not sure when her obsession began but whenever there is gum in the house her favorite question becomes, "Can I have a piece of gum?" Yesterday to celebrate her 100th day of school, each of the students in her class were asked to bring in 100 pieces of his/her favorite snack. What did Lexi choose to bring? You guessed it. Gum. 100 cherry~lime, tangerine~blueberry, strawberry~citrus, and cool mint individually wrapped pieces. The students pooled their treats into some sort of 100 day soup and each came home with a bag of goodies. Lexi grabbed her bag to snack on at Austin's game today and on the way home, Austin caught her enjoying her umpteenth piece of gum. "Lexi," he said (being the good big brother that he is;) "how may pieces of gum have you had?" Without missing a beat, she replied, "You don't need to know." Still not willing to miss out on an opportunity to nark on his little sis, Austin shot back with, "No, but mom does".
