Never go to sleep with bubble gum in your mouth or else a bad hair day may pop up with out an invitation.

One day not so long ago it was school photo day at my school. Since I hate school photos, the day before the big day I foolishly decided to put a humungous piece of bright pink bubble in my mouth. I kept on chewing and chewing until my jaw got tired and I drifted off to sleep.
Low and behold when I woke up the next morning I discovered a huge mass of the bright pink bubble gum from the day before sitting in the middle of my head. There was no way of disguising it. When I went down stairs for breakfast my mum saw my hair and let out a gigantic SCREAM!
"Why did you do that?" she yelled. "I fell asleep with the gum in my mouth.... while... doing my... homework". I explained.
That morning I had to go to school with the pink blob of bubblegum stuck to my head.

My best friend took one look at me and quickly told me a secret. "Didn't you know that the best way to get bubble gum out of your hair is to use peanut butter?" Who would have thought?!

Well, I may not of had a pink blob in my hair for the school photos but I sure smelt like peanut butter!
