Chew Chew

Have you ever wondered why stationery and other items are so fun to chew? I mean, you know how many chewed pencils, pens and pen lids build up by the time your through school? And even after school, the habit of chewing is just impossible to break. I mean, even if there's no pen around, there always seems to be something to chew, doesn't there? Or am I alone in saying that? I mean, you can't hide it. Everyone chews. And don't be smart and say food or gum either. Fingernails can be a favourite. I can be right up honest with you right now and say I've got a ruler in front of me with bite marks all over it, and a paperclip that's been in my mouth. And I've witnessed a friend completely chew through one of those wristbands that are around everywhere. The same one also had one of those mini light things that clip on fully in her mouth. I mean, it's quite disgusting when you think of all those mouth germs that are going around everywhere. It's like.. COOTIES!!! Just the other day I joined a Facebook Group for those who spend more time chewing on the lollipop stick rather than the lollipop. And that had a lot of fans. So, we all love to chew, yes? Anyone would think we descended from vampires! None of us knows how we got into this, and there'll always be something that's left around the house with teeth marks on it... no matter how many times we try to break the habit. :)
