When i was little my mom always use to say that If i swallow gum that it gets stuck in my tummy, and then i will never be able to eat, so once when i chewing gum i swallowed it by accident so i started to cry, so my mom came in the living room and told me why are you crying so i said because i am never going to be able to eat all because i swallowed the gum so she started to laugh.
