It is a reality of life with a 7 year old that, more than most people, we discuss body functions. Just saying the word 'fart" sends a 7 year old into paroxysms of laughter. Saying it repeatedly is even better.
But I was startled to be informed by the boy that neither Santa nor the president farts. He was washing up in the shower, with a head full of suds, when the announcement was made. When I countered that all animals fart, JT denied such a slanderous claim. The subject was not open for debate and so we moved on to a more dubious discussion: how do Santa's reindeer poop when they are flying from the North Pole?
I expect that the resident expert will soon formulate an explanation for this most pressing issue.
Thank goodness we're having a little girl, and will only have to discuss unicorns, rainbows, and ribbons. I mean, I assume that's all girls talk about, right?
ReplyDeleteYou gotta love 7yo boys LOL!! I haven't been blogging much, so it was good to catch up with your blog today. If I don't pop around before the 25th, I hope you and JT have a wonderful Christmas :-)
ReplyDeleteA seven year old girl of my acquaintance invited me into a restroom stall to admire her turd and as luck would have it she's quite entertained by farts. As her 5 year old sister is the same way, I think you've got fart chat in your future despite the childs gender.
ReplyDeleteI think it should be obvious that Santa's reindeer have poop bags just like the horses that pull the carriages in Central Park - they are just invisible! Don't you think? And now I know why Bush is so full of hot air and shit, thanks JT!
