One time my best friend Jaquelyn said that if you swallowed gum it would immediately go right to your heart and stick there where it would clog your "heart tubes" (we were seven, OK?) and then your blood couldn't go anywhere go it would go in your throat and you'd drown. Jaqueline was quite a tale- spinner and I was a pretty stupid kid. Hence, my username. Hey, I will soon be known on this site as the very stupid little kid.
