The Mayor finally got to chew his gum.
He carefully unwrapped it, stuck it in his mouth, chewed for 15 seconds and said,
"Gack! Ptht! Mommy, this is disgusting! I don't like it."
I told him to spit it in the garbage can.
He spit it out and begged for a drink to get rid of the taste.
Not just any drink... oh, no.
Milk is to The Mayor what National Park Ranger uniforms are to me.
He doesn't just ask for milk, he specifically asks for "fresh, cold milk."
He actually speaks in italics.. and breathy ones at that.
"Mommy, please can I have Fresh... Cold.... Milk?"
Washing away the evil wrong taste of Bazooka Joe, he slurped the milk down with a shiver of pleasure.
[Complete. Toddler. Moo-gasm.]
After his post-milk cigarette, he said,
"Mommy, next time can you get me gum without a flavor?"
"I don't think so, Mayor. All of the gum I know of comes in flavors."
He thought about that for a moment and then said,
"Okay, then could you get me some milk flavored gum?"
Uh,yeah.
I'll get right on that.

Oooh, I was wondering how the gum chewing had gone. Poor baby. He's just too wholesome for chewing gum :)

Cute cute cute. So I guess that was a little choco gasm I had a few moments ago when I ate the truffle?
Milk flavored gum...ewww. And so cute!
Ahhh, poor kid. Bazooka Joe gum is definitely one of the worst flavors. I wouldn't have recommended that one for a first attempt.
But, since you don't really want him chewing gum anyway, I'm guessing your good for another year or so.
LOL!
Guess that'll save you the hassle of removing the gum from household objects (and people).
After all that and then he is sadly dissapointed, total bummer.
At least he didn't try Big Red or Dentyne. Hooo boy, that woulda burned him and would not have been pretty.
The boy ain't right though--he doesn't like gum, but he drinks milk. EW! I HATE milk!
But still, I do love The Mayor!
This could be a million dollar idea;)
I'm with the Mayor - Fresh Cold Milk is the only way to drink it - I keep glasses in the freezer just for that purpose - Icy Cold Milk...mmmmm! I love the picture of the cow on the rainbow, blowing a bubble too!
My son loves milk more than any other beverage as well. At school they offer chocolate milk as a treat. Well, it's no treat to him. They have to make sure they have white milk especially for him on those days. We went to a cookout once where he had not one, but two juice boxes for dinner. We rarely have juice boxes, so that was a treat to him. However, as soon as we got in the car to head home, the first words out of his mouth? Do we have any milk in here? Mommy knows her boy, so we did indeed have some milk in our little cooler. That's my boy.
Very cute! My Boy loves Milk and hates gum too. (My Girl hates milk and worships gum).
milk flavored gum... hmm, i'm not sure about how that would be. well, if it does it for your little guy, seems ok to me, just more gum flavored gum for the rest of us
Ben's had many moogasms too. Crack me up, you.
I'm back and bettah than evah! (Yeah, right.) But happy to be reading you again!
I can picture a whole line - milk gum, milk flavored cigarettes, milk flavored . . .
Hi. I just tagged you. I think that means, "You're IT!"
Oh funny! Shark Boy is a milk lover too, in the extreme. He says "can I have a glass of 2% please?" (Hubs bought whole milk once because it was on sale and we spend $75 a month on milk. Oh. My. God. Disaster. Now he asks for 2%.)
Declan would TOTALLY do that.
And check me out, commenting early, not being #96 for once in my life.
So sweet. I wonder if they could make those "bursting" gums-- you know the "bursting" ones? With milk in the middle. On second thought- blech.
-HH
I always crack up when my girl asks for a fresh drink, as though we've been serving less than fresh anything to her. (=
I love how Mayor speaks in italics. It makes me want to invent milk-flavored gum for him.
Oh no! The Mayor was so excited about his gum, and it was a total flop. What a disappointment.
And I have to say that milk-flavored gum is one of the grossest things I've contemplated in a long time. Yuck.
Adorable..My heart goes out to him on the Bazooka...yick! Do they still come with comics?
My nephew is hooked on the stuff too. Come to think of it, both of them are - all wrongs are made right by the stuff.
The Mayor's in good company.
The fact that he asks for "fresh, cold milk" is hilarious. Because, what, you might give him old, stale, sour milk??? Too darned cute.
I second the cuteness of asking for "fresh" - as if!
I still crap at "I might have to touch it a lot."
My husband says the same thing before bed, btw.
I used to eat bazooka joe gum.
God, I'm disgusting.
You got a keeper there. Cute kid.
Love your site! First time visitor. Your kid sounds like a riot (and he sure as hell knows EXACTLY what he wants). Hey, I’m not sure what part of the country you live in, but if there’s an Asian market near you (there’s one on every block here in Los Angeles! Even the Starbucks are scared), go and buy a bag of “White Rabbit” – it’s a chewy Chinese candy (lead-free, as far as I can tell) that’s milk-flavored. I kid you not. And each piece is wrapped in rice paper, which looks and feels like cellophane but melts in your mouth (kids love that).
Bazooka Joe is pretty nasty. It's like chalk-flavored gum or something. Rock on, Mayor!
Come to Minnesota. We have milk flavored gum here. I wish I was kidding.
You totally lucked out! Bazooka sucks, good thing he didn't try watermelon or something else yummier.
Moogasm *snort* - made my day!
You should patent that! He's come up with a new flavor! It will be the craze everywhere!
Halloween gum is always disgusting. Poor kid.
I don't know if you get the stuff down there in the States, but we used to get this horrible gum that tasted like soap every year when we went trick or treating. It was called Thrills and it tasted like soap.
Every year I would have to taste one piece to make sure it really tasted like soap. YUCK. Yup. Every year it did. I would have killed for milk flavoured gum.
Too wholesome. So sweet.
We at Half House share the Mayor's adoration of milk. When the oldest child is home from college we go through 8 gallons a week. I love milk more than beer...and that's saying quite a bit!
Ha, ha--remind him that it won't stay cold in his mouth and maybe that will talk him out of it :-)
moo-gasm.
Where do you come up with this stuff?
Moo-gasm! Ha! Carson has an Ovaltine-laced Moo-gasm every single day.
hey there,
you left a comment on my blog that is the beginning of a novel i'm writing. it wasn't a real person. but, thank you...i guess she seems real.
take care and thanks for stopping by! love your blog...it's great!
He might be on to something - patent that quick!
And moogasm is my word of the day, thankyouverymuch.
I'm with Motherbumper -- it could be a great marketing niche!
Does he need a good lawyer to help him out with the paperwork? ;)
one of the least yummy sounding combo's i have heard of in a while, but he is freakin' adorable.
Moogasm? I've never had one of those. I think I'm going to have to try it.
BWahahahaha!
Bazooka gum is gross.
Bubalicious....yum
Ewww. Milk flavored gum. Blah!
So simple an idea, I can't believe our fine dairy folks have never thought to do that.
It breaks Bossy's heart a little that he finally chewed the gum! And it was! Awful. One of many disappointments, but Bossy hopes this is the stickiest.
PS When Bossy's son was little he made specific and nightly requests for Nice Warm Chotty Milk.
(this is like a politically correct version of "Hot Chocolate" for those toddlers not willing to perpetually burn the insides of their mouth like Bossy did as a wee child.)
My girls will ONLY chew Juicy Fruit. We rarely chew gum, but they dont like bubble gum. they dont like the candy flavored toothpaste either.
fresh cold milk...heh
I honestly can't think of anything worse than milk-flavoured gum.
Reminds me of Scooter who wanted Chocolate Chip cookies without the chocolate chips....
What is it with boys and their milk? My 2 guzzle it non-stop!
As for the gum... my 6.5 year old still eats it!
No gum for you!
Most excellent post. I'm still laughing. Moogasm. I loooove it.
Where on Earth did you find that amazing painting of the cow on the rainbow? It made me think of the hilarious song "Cows With Guns" by Dana Lyons. To hear it, go to his website at http://www.cowswithguns.com/homepage.html and select "jukebox" on the front page.
I'm surprised that he didn't pretend to like it after all that build up.
That is classic toddler! I love the "moo-gasm" comment...This sounds so much like my daughter.
LOL!
With Bazooka Joe all it would have taken was another minute and he would have had gum with no flavor!
Fresh, cold milk uh? What the hell have you been serving that kid? Chunky, warm?
That's so cute. What about that Zebra Stripe gum? Do they even still make that?? That was good when I was a kid.
That is cute.
The thought of milk flavored gum just makes me shudder.
That is an awesome picture.
Milk flavored gum... I can't even begin to imagine what it would really taste like.
But it was he was sooo ADORABLE!
My daughter loves gum, A LOT.
Just reading about that fresh cold milk makes me want some!
I wondered what my next career move would be...that's it. Milk gum! (with added calcium to make mom's happy). Once upon a time the Food Science Department here thought bubble gum flavored milk would be a good idea. Imagine how that would ruin the Rooster's day...
Thats just sick to have milk flavored gum! LOL
Sorry I have been MIA from your blog, so much going on! Kids had alot of school meetings, I had some stuff going on, Hubby's work is stressful, and I get the kids almost 24/7 when hubby is working . Needless to say I need a freaking vacation which is coming up Dec 8, my cruise! Hope you are doing well!
I did manage to post a thursday post, come by and visit if you can. I will try to keep up on my blogs more!
DEB
Moo-gasm! ha! You're hilarious! Totally great post!
Funny, ours only likes milk warm. And stupidly, I did it for her often enough when she was little that she ALWAYS wants it warm now. Preferably with chocolate in it...
I have moo-gasms too and I love my milk fresh and cold...and preferably with a stack of Oreos.
I guess it is not so bad then that my girls ask for ice cold water from the fridge ...and I just thought they were demanding little buggers.
I can understand the appeal of milk flavored gum. I'm addicted to the stuff.
moo-gasm bwahahahaha
this post reminds me so much of jake!! he lovvvves his "milky" too oh and gum? ha! fuhgetaboutit
We used to ask my mum for toast at breakfast time.
But not just any toast.
"Muuummmmm, can you make me some toast? Crunchy, juicy, beautiful."
That was the toast, not me mutha.
He is so cute!! Milk flavored gum... that was just too much!
Moo-gasm. My girls have multiple moo-gasms each day. I'm so jealous.
