Gassy aerobics class

We had this picture (a health advisory about swallowing chewing gum) forwarded on email to us by several people, so Hyrum showed it to the kids and told them this is what happens when you swallow your gum. He said you fluff bubble gum bubbles that get in your underwear and make a mess, so don't swallow your gum! Talea looked at the picture and laughingly said, "That's funny because it looks like they're sitting on balls, but they're really sitting on gum bubbles. Ha!"


The funniest thing about all this is that we've told her about this before. A few years ago (I swear we were at Maren's, but Hy doesn't recall), after she swallowed her gum, someone (I thought it was Susan but Hyrum says it was him) told Talea that if she fluffed, she'd blow bubbles in her underwear. She thought about it for a bit, then a few minutes later she ran in a desperate state for the bathroom, freaking out, because she needed to fluff and she didn't want a gum bubble to pop in her underwear. Sure enough, she sat on the toilet, while we were dying laughing, and was surprised NOT to find a bubble attached to her rear end. I guess she doesn't remember this though, since she didn't mention anything about it today when she saw the aerobics picture.
