Alright..so I’m going to attempt to get back into this. Will it work? Who knows. But I’m definitely gonna try and make it happen.
So. To start, I’d like to rant a little about gum, specifically blowing bubbles with one’s gum. Now I chew a lot of gum, and usually it isn’t ‘bubble’ gum. Most of the time it’s some random trident or orbit flavor. Does that, however, stop me from blowing bubbles? No. But I have been noticing less bubbles being blown around me.
What happened? It’s like soccer here in the states. Every kid does it, and then for some reason, it just disappears when we get older as if it never happened. Do you people remember how hard it was to learn how to do that? Ok..maybe it was really easy for you, I don’t really care. The point is, what happened to this dying…tradition I guess? Blowing bubbles with your gum is fun. It’s cool. It’s something to do with the gum in your mouth (cause come on…just chewing over and over gets a little boring).
Are people embarassed? Do they think it’s too loud? Are they afraid that once it pops, gum is going to stick to their face? I don’t understand how something so enjoyable as a kid can just..stop. I’m not saying no one does it, cause I’m sure there are a lot that do, but I’ve just noticed a decline in the bubble blowers out there and I feel it needs to be addressed.
So next time you’re chewin a piece of of watermelon twist trident, or whatever flavor/type you prefer, go ahead and blow a bubble or two. You may be surprised as to how much you enjoy it. That and you’ll be making me feel less self conscious every time I’m out in public doing it. So thanks!
