The Lost Gum

I don't know if any of you chew gum but most of the time you will find me with a piece in my mouth. Don't take that wrong. I am not the kind of person that constantly chomps or blows bubbles. I think I just do it to give my mouth something to do so that I don't talk someone's ear off. I do so love to talk. Who knew that gum would have such a benefit to those surrounding me? Well, sometimes while I am chewing it, it loses its flavor or I just get tired of chewing it. I get to the point where I just can't stand it anymore. I need to get that piece of gum out of my mouth right there and then without regard to where I am! The other day I was driving home from work and chewing a piece of gum. Wait...come to think of it, I was talking on the phone, too. So much for gum chewing being such a benefit to the other person. lol Anyway, the gum started to reach that point where it was driving me crazy to have it in my mouth. Keeping in mind the way I am, I was desperately searching for a place to spit it out. I can promise you, when it gets to this point, I am NOT ladylike. I can take a piece of gum and project it from my mouth with speed and force. I am, however, very considerate not to spit it out in a spot that it may get stepped on. So as I am driving down the road, I spot an area on the right hand side that is just a wooded area. I couldn't believe I was so lucky to find this spot. So as I approached it, I rolled down the passenger side window. Knowing that I had to make it past the passenger side of my car, out the window to the wooded area, I prepared by taking in a deep breath. As I past the area, I blew out of my mouth, forcing the gum between my teeth with my tonge making that pffftttttttt noise. The gum FLEW across the seat, and missed the window opening. I saw it hit the top rubber and drop down into my car. Yes folks, I missed that huge opening. As soon as I got home, I searched the passenger side of my vehicle. I could not find a thing. So, I asked others to look to see if they could see it. They couldn't find it either. I KNOW I saw it fall in my car but I be ding dang doggity if I can find that blasted piece of gum (no pun intended). I suppose one day it may show up. I just hope it is sooner rather than later.
