when i was a little wee girl, i always used to swallow my gun instead of spiting it out. well one horrible day, my mom told me that if u swallow your gum one more time, it will not digest in my stomach. i rubbed my stomach and i just started to cry. then i thought of myself in 17 years and i imagened my self as a big bellied girl who no one talked to. because i swalloed so much gum. it made me so sad.
