We don’t let our kids chew gum.
No reason. Besides they end up our of their mouths, and in hair, and in clothes, and in the carpet, and stomachs.
I found this in the cup holder in the back seat of our Santa Fe…
GROSS!
My theory:
Your oldest one is getting it at school.
Our 8 year old doesn’t chew gum, but both kids often come home with random stuff (candy, toys, etc). Whenever I find said randomness that I know was not purchased by me and ask from whence it came, the answer I most often get is “______ at school gave it to me”.
One of your kids is a true leader. Knowing that gum was prohibited, they took the initiative to collect it from everyone in the vehicle. Proper disposal fell a little short, but the effort is to be commended. Either that, or it’s a science project in the making. haha.
I am a gum-aholic.
I usually chew at least 3-4 pieces at a time.
The more sugar in the gum the better, well that was until my dentist made me switch to sugar free, but I have a stash. More power to your kids, double bubble is where it is at.
What I want to know is how long has that cup been there? Looks like there’s 4 1/2 pieces of gum on there. Which begs my next question, how often do you look in the back seat? Which also makes me wonder what else might be back there.
Anyways, I’d put it on the kitchen counter and stand next to it when the kids get home and wait to see who reacts to seeing you standing next to the gum cup.
As they get older, let a stash of gum be all that you find.
My mom used to take my Nintendo away from me as punishment when I was young. But, she’s blind. So, find the Nintendo and use the mute button. Smart? No. Cruel? Yes.

Uhm… you might wanna check what’s inside the cup too. It might not be fruit punch
It’s looking like some very creative gum artwork to me! I’d leave the cup and see how it progresses!
How funny!
You your wife isn’t caving and smuggling it to them?!
What we have here is a failure, to communicate.
A night in the “box!”

Haha, I was expecting to see a freshly shaven mustache!!
Thats so cool.
I found oreo cookies underneath my 5 year olds bed not too long ago. He said it was a snack for when mom wouldn’t let him…
Very smart kid
too smart for his own good…
Hahaha Oh kids… The gum cant be very good to chew anymore.. But the mystery is where its coming from??
You know…that was a really creative way of getting rid of it. You gotta give them props for that at least.
But I agree with whoever said it first…they’re getting it from school.
Uh-Oh someone is in trooooooouuuuuubbbbbbbllllle.

I later owned up. She later pwned me.
