The Things Kids Say

I'm sitting here in the computer lab (yes still...my day turned out longer than expected) and there was a mother beside me on a computer with her small daughter underneath the table playing with blocks.

"Mom...these blocks are cool"

"Mom...these blocks are really hard to stack together"

Then the kicker

"Mom....I farted"

Mom to Daughter, "Honey...thanks for letting me know"

Then in turn I hear six snorts and cackles coming from other computers which host an assortment of 20-something soliders.

What it is with men thinking expelling gas is hilarious?

Ok...I admit...the way she said it was hilarious kind of funny.

I would've laughed, but I think farting's funny anyhow. Yeah, I'm mature.

Abbie said...

I would've laughed too! It's so much funnier when you hear it coming from a kid...they have no shame in anything!

J.L.S. said...

I would have been laughing... bathroom humor always gets me... maybe it's because I spent every other week with just my dad and older brother when I was growing up!

I giggled just reading that. Fart jokes will always be funny, I don't know why. I'm really mature. :)

How Funny!
Where are you in Italy?
Many years ago I was there, newly married with my husband. He was stationed in Vicenza. How great that was! Oh the pizza, so different from what we in US are use to.
One bit of advice,,,see as much of the country as you can, travel and have a ball, I wish I were there.
Share it with us (or me)ha

There was Red,Yellow and Blue buses to post if you didn't have transportation(now I know you are laughing) humor me, cause this really takes me back....

Kids are the best :) I have a feeling this little one brought a few laughs to a few people who really needed it that day!

Mrs. S said...

Hell, actually, most soldiers I am around take pride and describe the logistics of how the particular sound was created. blech.
