He hoped that without water for the rest of the day and overnight that it'd dry out or the juice would kill it i guess? haha we were really young. |
lol that's too funny! As kids we would believe anything! especially coming from grown-ups
I also remember my grandma telling me not to swallow the gum, otherwise a gum plant will grow in my stomach, a gum plant!!!!!!!
