It's kind of therapeutic or something. Whistling, too...except I can't remember how my parents taught me how to whistle. I think it was something like 'purse your lips together and you have to blow <em>just right</em>. Sarah blows and hums at the same time. It's so cute. :) ______________________ <em>[Sounds adorable, Stephen.

Hey, they all need to face the principal one time or another in their lives. Why deprive them of the 999 other times when cracking their gum will give them joy? _________________________________ <em>[As always, you make a great point, BD!!
