The old peanut butter trick....

After going to church and having a nice quiet lunch with good friends, we came home and the adults in the house tried to have an nice afternoon nap. With all my sniffling and coughing, and even with an extra hour of sleep due to the time change, I was pleased to put on my comfy pants and lay my congested head down. When I was just dozing off, my 8 year old was tearfully waking me up. "I've got gum stuck in my hair!" I really wanted to roll over and deal with it later, but I could see she was quite distressed. So, off to the computer to google "how to remove gum from hair". Almost all of the sites came up with peanut butter. So, these were tried by other desperate families...let's give it a try. As the dog lay drooling at our feet (he loves peanut butter) we smeared it in and low and behold, it did work. Some hair was pulled out but it worked. I'm surprised this happened the day before Halloween!
