This is something my girls will appreciate....
Do y'all remember Dubble Bubble bubble gum? Well, I was cleaning out a cabinet and all the way in the back, I found a tin full of them. I gave the bubble gum to Cliff.
Oh dear Lord, what have I done?
Y'all those things are as hard as brickbats. But that didn't stop Cliff from tearing into them. He's been chewing bubble gum for two days, now.
Cliff used to buy a bag of bubble gum to carry on family road trips. He and the girls would nearly drive me crazy popping gum. They visited a cave once and had a ball popping their gum just to hear the sound echo off the cave walls.
This also made me remember what we used to do to my daddy. After church on Sundays, daddy would take the family to grandmama's for a visit. After some of us girls got older, we would want to stay at home and listen to Casey Kasem's top 40 on the radio or visit with our friends. There are six kids in my family and two or three of us would gang up and pop our gum until daddy would get so mad that he would send us to the car and take us home. HaHa!! It worked every time. And now.....the old adage, 'What goes around comes around', certainly rings true.
Cliff is popping that gum, like nobody's business. I'm almost ready to take him somewhere!

What fun memories!
ReplyDeleteThey are, Carol. My youngest daughter told me that she pops her gum to annoy her husband. Looks like the Apple didn't fall far from the tree. Ha!
DeleteGreat story. I remember the fun of Double Bubble.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janey.
DeleteOh, yes, I remember Dubble Bubble gum. However, I don't need bubble gum to snap, crackle and pop. I can't chew regular gum without the snapping which seems to irritate many people around me!
ReplyDeleteSnap, crackle and pop...haha!!
DeleteA walk down memory -- no -- LaLa Lane!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, clever! I would say memories from a walk down LaLa Lane.
DeleteI remember double bubble gum! It was always last to be eaten from the trick or treat bag! Every Sunday Jack slips me a piece of gum during Church....no snapping gum there!
ReplyDeleteThat's probably where this stash of bubble gum came from....a trick or treat bag. Lol!! Gum in church?? What if popped it by mistake?
DeleteWe used to buy the kids Hubba Bubba!
ReplyDeleteHahaha!
Enjoy your week...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
LOVED Double Bubble, but what's with the newfangled flavors up there? I just remember the old stuff that WAS hard as a brick bat!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess they needed something new and fresh. Cliff likes the green apple. I nearly tore up my jaws trying to chew the stuff. Lol!!
