It is late, the kids are all finally asleep. I walk through the house admiring the mess, but too tired to do much of anything about it. On my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water and inspect the dishes that I will not wash until tomorrow, I see a funny flesh-colored-something stuck to the far living room wall.
"The heck?" I mutter, "is that a band aid stuck on the wall? Why the heck would they stick a ..."
I reach out a hand to touch the mass. Gum. Freaking pink bubble gum. Well craaaap.

Clearly you made them do something today they didn't want to do and this is there revenge.
Or there wasn't a trash can nearby.
Or their revenge. There revenge doesn't make much sense does it?
I lolled. Am sorry.
I assume it came off just fine. Kids. Sheesh.
oh.... no more gum for the chaos girls... ;-)
We USED to have a bubble gum machine in the basement- put in a penny, get a gumball.. note we used to have one. Tink would get a gumball chew it for two minutes and then spit it out behind the couch in the basement. We didn't discover this until we re-arranged in the basement months after the gumball machine was empty. Yep. Dried gum in the carpet, on the wall and the back of couch. Fun I tell you. Fun.
OMG, Fantastagirl's comment just made me shudder. I was just about to commiserate and pipe up with my grousing about how the floor of our office is covered with Littlest Pet Shop and googly-eyes Madagascar stickers currently, but I think I'll just slink off and count my blessings that my kid hasn't really discovered gum yet.
I always loved my fruits when I was a child. But I hated to get up and go to the kitchen to dispose of the leftovers, like apple cores, pits, etc. So? I just dropped those things behind the sofa I was sitting on while enjoying the treats....
Mama
Too funny! You had me laughing out loud at your disgusting discovery. I think what made me laugh hardest was the fact that I've been there, done that. I have found dried up gum in the weirdest places around my house (and my car...).
