A few weeks ago we were sitting in church during a testimony meeting. We were listening to an emotional testimony when Jeremy nudged me. I looked over at him and he motioned for me to look the other way...at our son. I won't name names to preserve embarrassment...but one had been rooting through my purse looking for gum. He found this and thought he'd scored! Unbenownst to him, I'd realized I'd found a perfect carrier for something besides gum.
My son...the unnamed one...had it open, up about chest level on the back pew.... not very discreet...with the most confused look on his face! I grabbed it, and slammed it back into my purse....and tried my dangdest and failing miserably to keep a straight face.
I could not stop laughing. I would not look at my unnamed son....or J...for fear of totally losing it. I guess that will teach him for trying to steal gum from me! I guess it should teach me also...for not using a gum container for something else. but it probably won't. It just works too perfectly! at least half of my family knows to stay away from it now...so..it should be good!

that is so funny!!
I just had something like that happen yesterday. I had bought a box at the airport and had it in my purse. I had to put up my purse for take off and Tom asked if I wanted anything out of my purse.. and I said yes I need my gum. I went to put my hand in my purse and pulled out the tampon box.. in full sight of everyone in first class and everyone waiting in line .. I turned bright red and shoved it back in.. and grabbed my gum instead.. again.. should know better than to just have a box.. now if I was smart like you I would have them in a great little Altoid container.. :)
haha, I found a cute craft the other day to hold those. I will see if I can find it for you. That is why I don't let people in my purse. If they want something they can bring me my purse and I will find it for them.
