Gum Balls
Dumb me the other day got my old gum ball machine out and filled it with gum balls. Well not EVERY time Ryan or I go near the thing, or after dinner the girls ask for a gummy ball. I don’t know how many times we have said Nope, no, not at 7 in the AM. The thing is almost out and it is not getting refilled.
Lastnight I was in the mood for a gum ball at about 7:30 and I was dumb and turned the dial when the girls were with in ear shot. They of course dropped what they were doing and made a v-line for me and the gum ball machine. I didn’t take the gum ball out and told them mommy bumped the machine and it was close to bed time so no gum balls for anyone. They were upset gave me a few wines and went back to the movie. I then snuck the gum ball and went to sit on the couch all the while trying not to let them see me chew the thing. Emily sat down next to me and looked at me with her look of ‘ I know something is going on’. She then asked if I had a gum ball and I told her nope. Her reply was - huh I sure smell a gum ball and then proceded to smell me. I was forsure I got caught but nope she decided I smelled OK and I didn’t have a gum ball.
Again, that dang thing is not coming out when the gum balls are gone.
