In Which I Am Proven Wrong

Yesterday Joe and I really had a good time together. He’s been sick but just started to get to feel better, so he was in a silly mood (as was I, and I have no excuse). I really enjoy when I get to connect with the kids I’m around.
Joe had this interesting looking gum (I actually thought it was a matchbook when I first saw it) called 5. He says they call it that because the taste lasts for 5 hours. Always the skeptic, I had to try it, though it was probably my first piece of gum in at least 6 months. It was cinnamon flavored, and my first comment was that is was much weaker than Big Red, a favorite of mine from my gum-chewing days.
After about 10 minutes of chewing, I realized that the flavor was getting stronger, not weaker. It was like it was accumulating on my tongue. This continued until I couldn’t take chewing it any longer…after 30 minutes. I can almost assure you I haven’t chewed a piece of gum that long in 15 years.
It was still flavorful when I spit it out, so I was unable to discredit the 5 hour theory. It actually was a semi-enjoyable experience, but most of all I welcomed the opportunity to bond with Joe over a piece of gum!
