The Yellow Gum Chewer

this is what happens when you try to do chores and Lillian occupies herself

exhibit 1:
We were playing Martha the Talking Dog as I was emptying the dishwasher before we left the house. Lillian kept asking me if Martha was yellow. When I found her she had a piece of yellow chalk in one hand and was coloring herself yellow so she could be Martha.


exhibit 2:
This morning Lillian asked if she could have some gum after she ate her breakfast. I said sure and she went to get the package. I saw her put one piece in her mouth and walked out of the room. When I came back her mouth looked strange. I asked her to open her mouth and I saw lots of gum. I asked her how many pieces she put in her mouth she said ten but I only found five wrappers.
