Rub It In, Why Don't Ya?

Naomi: What is that? What are you chewing?

Me: Gum.

Naomi: Bubble-gum?

Me: Yep.

Naomi: How come?

Me: I like it.

Naomi: No fair! I like gum. How come you get gum and I don’t?

Me: Because *sigh* you're a kid, Naomi. And my life, as a grown-up, is better than you can possibly imagine.

That's kind of you to say, Colleen! I hope you've gotten over your case of the flu.

Ah, Shawn, I know. There are drawbacks about being a grown up ... but on the gum chewing score being on the over thirty team is definitely where its at!

HA! Take that kid!

But seriously, why can't your child have a peice of gum?

Heh, it was mean of me I know. But Naomi has gum infrequently. She's not totally deprived.
