Maybe it just me, I dunno. My son turned two in Feb. Last night when I met them at the Sec. State's office, he was chomping on a wad of gum.
I asked Ms.G What is he chewing on? "Gum," "you mean he never asks you for gum?" I said uh...no. He's two, I wouldn't give him any if he did. She then says "well all he does is swallows it anyway."
Might just be me, but I think it's stupid to give a two year old bubble gum so he can swallow it, just because he asks her for some all the time.
