Some of the things my kids say and do are pure gold.
One of the great things about young children is that they don’t understand the concept of whispering, and when its appropriate and necessary to do so. Whatever they want to say, they just say it loud and say it proud. All. The. Time.
Recently, my husband took our six year old son to the bathroom after we went to the movies. Someone happened to be in the stall next to them. That someone also happened to have a little gas issue.
6yo: Daddy! DID YOU HEAR THAT! SOMEBODY FARTED!!!
Husband: sssssshhhhhhh!!!
6yo: HEY DADDY!!! (now laughing hysterically) ISN’T IT FUNNY THAT A MAN FARTED???
Husband: Quietly giving the 6yo the death stare and whispering, “be quiet!”
6yo: OH MY GOSH! HE FARTED AGAIN. THAT MAN HAS A LOT OF GAS IN HIS BUTT!!
I don’t need to tell you how quickly my husband booked it out of there. It didn’t take much to make me understand why he was RUNNING out of the bathroom, dragging the 6yo out of there, so he wouldn’t have to run into “the gas man”. The best part was the kids’ convulsive giggling, as he told the story, all the way home.
Good Times.

What does that say about me that I’m giggling like a schoolgirl about this? Good times indeed!
I was totally giggling through the entire thing, too! Tee hee!
I believe my son’s words were “Somebody got a BIG poop Mama!” Yep, gotta love it. Totally worth the laughs and the story!
LMAO – gotta love kids. Though, I have to be honest, some people REALLY have NO reservations when it comes to public restrooms…seriously. I once went into a bathroom that had like…10 stalls…someone came in to the one RIGHT next to me and started grunting and popping veins….seriously? I thought I might have been on candid camera. LOL
Sadly, I’m 36 and I still think farts are funny. I don’t even want to know what this says about me. *teehee*
Hannah always likes to peer under the stall at the person next to us as much as I try to drag her away. She gives a short commentary on their choice of shoes and their ankles. And always on what business they are doing. Lovely.
Ha! That’s hilarious – my little one is always very curious about who is attached to the shoes she can see from under the stall as well. She’s also really good at opening the door to the stall at the most inconvenient time.
Haha! Love it. I’ve had many moments with my kids just like that!
LOL! That is too hilarious! My daughter likes to comment a lot in public bathrooms… although it’s usually HER who lets out a big fart and then we both laugh hysterically!
I guess I’m a 6yo too because I giggled through that whole thing too!
That. Is. Hilarious. I’m dying over here.

P.S. I may have accidentally posted this same comment as a different user. DOH!
seriously, i laughed the whole time too! i have 3 boys, a husband AND a dog, all of them are content to fart and fart and fart and laugh their brains out. the dog even knows enough to look indignant when we blame the farts on him
{ he KNOWS!} why are farts so damn funny, anyway?
