The Irritating Guide to Chewing Gum

~ SA Otey ~ 1 Comment

Chewing gum is on my shortlist as one of the worst things ever invented. Here is a short guide to maximizing everyone’s enjoyment of your gum chewing

  • Chew with your mouth open like a cat eating peanut butter
  • Pop it against the roof of your mouth
  • Blow bubbles then suck them in to make a sound like a vacuum cleaner picking up a plastic shopping bag.
  • Place enough gum in your mouth as to hinder speech
  • When you get back in your car, roll down the window and toss out your gum so it gets nice and hot and someone will step in it as soon as they park and get out.
  • If someone asks for a piece of gum, always say you’re chewing your last piece, and refer to the first item on the list to show them how it’s done

Hope this helps

Making the most of your Hotel’s Free Breakfast

~ SA Otey

Do you let your kids eat breakfast by themselves? I imagine the family allowing this behavior that follows, simply saying, “Your Father and I are going to sleep in, go down to the breakfast area and eat whatever you want.”

As I was cooking a waffle there was a young child spooning chocolate chips into a coffee cup. He keeps looking over at me after each scoop until it was empty of its contents. I guess he wanted someone to tell him to stop. Then his younger brother came over, opened up the chocolate chip container saw that it was empty, and walked away. Their sister did the same thing.

Each child had a to-go box filled with breakfast items. One was filled with bananas, another with oranges, and another one with hot chocolate packets. All claimed it was food for the road. No one said anything, and it was quite a bit of food. I wonder what the parents thought when the kids brought all this food back to the room.
