How Many Years does it Take Gum to Digest Again??

As you know from previous posts, Luke has taken to enjoying small pieces of bubble gum.

Yesterday, he asked for one just a few moments after I had already given him a piece.

I asked if he had swallowed the other piece?

He replied, "No. It just went sshhhoom and it went in my tummy. I not swallow it."

(There were hand motions involved - he kept making the ssshhoom noise and drawing a line from his neck to his stomach.)
