when i was wee my mum told me that if u swallowed chewing gum u'd grow a rabbits tail so i didn't ever ever do it until one day i was too curious that i hid under a desk in my bedroom to swallow it so she wouldnt see me and the tail never came. quite disappointing after the excitement that i could grow a tail had built up!
