Gummy Gum Sum

Gummy was Mom and Dad's first child. She was sewn from a piece of cloth that was stained with gum and math problems (For Pete's Sake of her middle and last name!). She really loved to chew gum and do math problems at the same time. But the top of the pencil always gets sticky when she does. She was sewn on May 3rd (I love SchoolWork Day.). Strangely, she died of an unknown reason the day before I was born. Doctors said she could have died because of eating too much licorice (Not only did she love gum, she also loved licorice), while others said she died of a heart attack when she learned we were getting another child (Me), when two doctors said she died of food poisoning in the gum she loved.
