Farts, Burps and Other Thrills of Being Four (or a Man)

 Lately, farts and burps have been a great source of entertainment in our house.  The louder and wetter, the better.  Z develops this serious look on her face, then it slowly turns into a sneaky grin (much like the bunny) and finally, after a dramatic pause the “release” occurs.  At that point she is overcome with giggles and becomes weak in the knees. 

If G (a.k.a. “Fa”) is nearby he will declare “That was me,”, knowing it will infuriate her that someone is trying to steal her thunder (pun intended).  She will fire back, “That was not your fart/burp.  That was mine.”  If any fart or burp takes place, they both love to claim it. 

I really hope G enjoys this stage of Z’s life where inhibitions and modesty do not exist.  Time will march on and eventually I will be unable to convince her that she and her Fa used to compete for the best fart and burp. 

But for now, they can enjoy this lovely pastime reminiscent of that famous scene from “The Sting”and fall on the floor laughing to their hearts content.  In the meantime, I can fart anytime I want and know that someone else will gladly claim it!

Ah….life is good.

  1. This is hilarious. It sounds just like my 2 and 4 year old boys.

  2. That just goes to show that farts are funny, no matter how old or young you are.

  3. T, I love the new layout for the BLOG. Hearing about Z just makes me want to see her soon.
