Tricky...

I was craving something sweet and remembered I had bought some new gum.

I reached in my handy dandy purse. Ya’no the one that holds everything but the kitchen sink.

3 packs

Which one do I choose? I open one and realize in my haste I didn’t read the flavor.

Unusual flavor spread across my palette. I sucked on it for a minute.

I looked over at Mr. M

Ooooooooooooh, you hav’ta try this..

Hands him a stick. "Is" delicious.

Within minutes the flavor had diminished and I reached for the other pack.

Oooooooooh maaaaah gawd.

Chews and sucks on gum.

What flavor is this one?

Hands Mr. M the box.

Must be a “Mystery Flavor”  nothings on the package.

I chew harder, thinking the harder I chew ..maybe..just maybe I  can place the flavor.

I look at Mr. M,

Is grape… and Apple..

A SMILE ON MY FACE.

He looks at me, and laughs.

Really?

I chew harder.. Gawd I cant place it.

Sybil...have you ever watched Willy Wonka?

 YOU'RE Violet…

And Roast beef…. And Apple Pie..

He mimics the child in the movie...

yes, Sybil... your a card short of a full deck.

And gravy...and mashed potatoes...

I smirk and give him the finger

I glared at him.. Is Grape I know it.

Do you see what you’re doing? He says.

Wha’? it issss!! Its grape.

But whats the other flavor I ask.

You see what your turning into? OMG your swelling.

I mouthed "Vacuum" if you say it fast nuff...

it sounds like something else...if you read lips that is..

I never did figure out the flavor...
