I am kind of crazy about gum. Weird. I know. Jack estimates that we spend around $300 a year on gum for me. We think that may be on the low end. I chew gum basically all day. All gum must be sugar-free, preferably w/ Xylitol. I have certain flavors of gum for certain things. Gum for running, gum for after dinner, gum for while I am at a doctor's office, gum for while I clean the house.... you get the idea. Today I went to get my gum for after lunch and it was gone!! Now that is not usually a big deal b/c I can substitute another kind in a pinch. EXCEPT- I was on my last pack! I am planning on going to the grocery tomorrow and we are running low on gum and groceries. So I was making this last pack of "Trident- Wild Blueberry Twist" last the remainder of the day. It was a challenge but I was up for it. Anyway- I go to get my gum after lunch and it is not there! I empty my purse.... gone! I immediately pick up the phone and call Jack (who was meeting w/ someone by the way.)
Me- Honey, did you take my gum?
Jack- Maybe.
Me- Did you or not? Where is it?
Jack- I needed some gum.
Me- WHAT??? Why didn't you take like 2 pieces?
Jack- I don't know. I needed some gum.
Me- DON'T TAKE THINGS OUT OF MY PURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack- Sorry.
Me- That was my last pack. What am I supposed to do now?
Jack- I don't know honey. I'm sorry.
Me- When you get home please bring the remainder of my pack of gum into the house.
Poor Jack. He really is going to be a Saint one day. Here is what he came home w/. What a patient and caring husband I have. Thanks so much love. Sorry, I am so nuts.
