I have been poorly for the last few days and unusually for me, this has meant I took to my bed, so the old boy has been in charge. Number 2 daughter was chewing gum and swinging it from finger to finger...son number one got it in his hair. So as not to disturb me, he used some lateral thinking and stuck a bag of peas on sons head to freeze the gum so he could pick it off, but this failed. Then out came the hair clippers and a potential number one all over looked to be the answer, but he took a chance and googled 'chewing gum stuck in hair'. What do you reakon? Peanut butter. Rub the peanut butter into the affected area and the natural oils will remove the gum quickly and cleanly. It did, perfectly. ;D
