Another thing that just happened

tumblr_mvdgrgmyH61s080geo1_400Well, okay, it just happened as I’m writing it: about 8:00 PM yesterday evening.  I’ve delayed the post to keep from stepping on the positivity piece.  🙂

Context:  The boy has just had his bath.  He is wrapped in a towel and sitting on the counter in our bathroom.  He tries to stand up.

DAD:  (stops boy.)  WHOA.  Stop.  We don’t stand up on the counter.

BOY:  I fart.

DAD: (stops another standing attempt) I don’t care if you have to fart.  You don’t stand up on the counter.

BOY:  I fart in my butt on my towel!

DAD:  If necessary I will put you on the ground so you can fart.  (Realizes what he has just said.)  (Looks at wife.)  We are going to agree I never said that.  (Wife cracks up.)

I put the boy on the floor; he insists on being picked up and carried back to the bedroom to be dressed for bed.  I pick him up.  

BOY:  Halfway down the hall, whispering directly into my ear:  I like to fart.

Exeunt.

  1. Yeah, farting’s not really just a boy thing (I’m addressing commenters more than poster). I have 3 girls and some of my best memories of my oldest daughter are from when she was a toddler and she used to wake me up by crash landing into me. Then we’d snuggle and fart back and forth for 5 to 10 minutes, giggling uncontrollably. Farting is fun. 🙂
