An IS 350, grandma's house, twins, gum, the internet, pizza,and a roll of scotch tape
I picked up my fiancee's twins from their grandmothers yesterday evening to head back to the house. Suddenly I had a beer craving so decided to make a stop to pick some up on the way home (but of course i go to the wrong store that didn't sell alcohol cause i was going to need it).
Low and behold, they are hopping out and I hear one of them say "EWWWWW"
I look back. She has gum on her butt.
along with green spearment gum smeared nicely into my black leather seat!
WTF! And of course there is no recollection as to how that happend.
We head on on to the house. I get in and look for the good ol goo begone i say 2 months ago on some dresser somewhere maybe in a past life. Call my lady and she has no idea where it is.
The twins are getting hungry... they want pizza. (FINE!, but i got gum in my seat!)
Let me check the net HOW DO I REMOVE GUM FROM LEATHER SEATS? was the search.
Some UK sight pops up yammering about the marvels of scotch tape. (PSHH, right)
What the heck, i'm desperate at this point.
Order the pizza, (pick up please) grab the roll of scotch and the Fob plannign on hitting the store for some goo be gone on the way back... "I'm out be back"
I pull up in the parking lot in front of the HUT, put on the A/C cause the weather is as hot as I am right now.
Hop in the back seat got the radio on listening to LeBron getting a reality check and start pulling out tape. 20 minutes later of tiresome stick and pull and unroll and stick and pull...
and the pizza order was right too!
Thank God for scotch tape and the internet.
Note: use the regular not the "magic" kind

According to the story, the gum was already on her butt before she got in so...
Yea i have the 'no food/drink' rule too, although i did put a napkin in the center pop open cup holder just in case. If anyone is gonna drink in my car its gonna be ME and only me.

Yeah Ice works nicely too. I did the same thing when I was a kid. I must have sat in gum while warming the bench at my soccer game and when I got out of my dad's brand new ES 300 (back in '94) there was gum all over his black leather seat. He didn't notice but my Mom and I did. We grabbed some ice and went to work. Unfortunately he found out before we were able to get it all out. He wasn't mad but that feeling of disappointment on his face made me cry 
. lol. Good times!

After all this, she's still your fiance ?!?!?
Remember, you adopt the twins too.
Reality check - by next year you'll be trading in the IS for a mini-van (hehe). . .
