Sage Words
My son just let fly with a little toot at the dinner table. He looked around the table and then started cracking up, demitasse cup with real Coca Cola in it (a special treat, since we are having pizza) sloshing wildly as he guffawed.
My husband shot him a look and said, "Farts may be funny, but it's not worth a spilled Coke."
Whatevah, that.
Comments
My kids call them "tussy burps". "Tussy" is the cutesy Yiddish word for butt. They laugh out loud as they admit they just let one fly. Noah, our 4-year-old, thinks if one is funny, then two must be twice as hilarious.
I'm almost sorry an amusement for kids becomes taboo for adults.
And speaking of Coke, isn't that what CAUSES the flatulence in the first place? Gee, I gotta brush up on my gastrointestinal biochemistry.

I don't know Dad. A really great one might just be worth a spilled coke. Spilled beer is a completely different story!

Ain't THAT the truth! (Demitasse? Ooh, la la.)
BTW, you got any Southern in you? I'm not sure exaclty why I'm asking. Maybe it's the "go on, git" etc. I grew up in the South myownself.

Ah grasshopper... you speak the wise words of ancient wisdom.
Whip it. Whip it good!
And why is it that farts are so damn funny. I'm almost 30 and I still crack up when I fart!

Yeah, Hubby would agree. Nothing is worth a spilled Coke.

I think my husband would agree also.
I myself agree to a certain extent. If you manage to get that coke to come out of your nose, then and only then is it worth it.
