Resonating Words

I have a habit of swallowing soft chewing gum. Actually, the whole idea of me unwrapping those treats is not to chew them but rather to eat them. The whole thing practically melts and will be automatically swallowed. I would on occasions would swallow other types of chewing gum once the flavour is gone and there is not bin around. Any chewing gum that cannot be swallowed I would not see the point of chewing.

This was all well and down to personal choice until…My son was able to chew gum.

It became a different practice. He spotted me doing it several times and then I explained that we are allowed to swallow very soft chewing gum. Then each time he gets chewing gum he would ask if it was soft or hard, in other words if he could swallow it or not. This lead me to focus on the chewing gum that I put in my mind. It is a second habit for me to chew gum and did not want the little detective to spot it so I avoided chewing gum for a while until he was not focusing on checking on me as I used to check on him discarding it properly.

It is funny how the little ones would lead us to watching our behaviour, even for a little while
