Minding your own business, you’re thinking about errands you have to do, dinner or that special someone. And suddenly, your train of thought is slightly interrupted by a tug on the bottom of your foot. If you feel this tug, you’re one of the lucky ones because it depends on the elasticity of the clinging culprit that will make you aware of its presence or not. You may be lucky and notice after the first step, in which case it may be easy enough to remove the gum.
If not, the pressure exerted by your body onto the gum will force it to work its way into the various crevices in the sole of your shoe; oozing and squeezing into every nook and cranny. After a while, you won’t realise its stickiness anymore because it will have less contact with the ground and dirt and debris will adhere to the exposed side. Upon arrival to your destination, it is brought to your attention (either by a concerned colleague or through your own realisation) that the health of your shoe and your present demeanour are indebted to the closest stick you can find to peel she out.
Mudda Sik!
