Knowing Beas was teething and uncomfortable, Gem Atkinson let it slide, which only further encouraged the little creature's bad habit of biting. Gem's shoulder even bore a mark of commemoration from the biting, but he was tirelessly happy about it.
In response to Gem's indulgence of Beas, Forsythia Brown simply couldn't stand by and bought a teething toy.
However, the little one greatly detested the teething toy and wouldn't deign to chew on it. At the time, Gem said, "Forget it, my skin is thick, let him chew if he wants to chew."
This irritated Forsythia, who rolled her eyes and said, "Though your skin is thick, and though your son's teeth aren't as sharp as a puppy's or kitten's, it's still not great for him to chew constantly. There's truth in the saying 'constant dripping wears away stone', otherwise how could your shoulder have ended up with a bite mark? Leave it to me, I refuse to believe I can't fix this little one's habit of biting people."
