When I got mad as a kid i'd chew my jumper!
I would take one side of the collar of a v- neck jumper and put it between my teeth. This was done really quickly.
Once chewing on said sweater I would begin to snort and curse. None of anything I said made sense because I had a mouthful of wool. Rage had made me unintelligible too.
Like a cross between Mutley from the Wacky Races and the Incredible Hulk, I would fume with clenched teeth in this way until I was dentally spent.
As a result of this chewing I would also dribble on my jumper's collar, which created a set of wet teeth marks when I had calmed down and returned to normal sweater wearing. Some collars may have been bitten clean through!
This chomping fury happened both at school and at home as people's ability to wind me up was universal.
Did you chew your jumpers readers? What did you do when you got angry as a kid?
'a mouthful of wool' thats the funniest thing ive read in ages! get some therapy!
ReplyDeleteI would if could find a jumper I can still wear! They're full of holes!
Deletedoes your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bed post overnight?
ReplyDeleteWe would have been sent to the gulag if we were caught chewing anything at home! But you've reminded me I used to chew the collar of my school shirt - at school!
