Something to think about & a good giggle!

Question:

Twin Mom said:  >Funny, I read that >exact same story here several months >ago

I think that happens with lots of these stories.  There’s the mustard/poupon one, the we’re *just* moms one, the friend whose thinking about children one, etc..I like most of them – and this one was pretty good – but they all seem to make the *rounds*. Thanks for posting this one though.  My Dad will get a kick out of it.  Lol. — Later, Sophie mom to Charlotte (2) and Patrick (8 months)

Nope.  They’d still smell like, well, farts.  You know the saying "a rose, by any other name would still smell as sweet."  I think we can coin a new one here.  "A fart, no matter its color, would still stink as bad." ;-} Sharon

Aula and all in the group, I am sorry I forgot to make it clear that the story I posted was something I recieved from a friend. I dont know who it actually happened to, or if it really did.  I just thought it was really funny and made a good point. Liz

Response:

Funny, I read that exact same story here several months ago, I thought in a parenting magazine, but maybe it was here.  Did you just re-post it, or was this a "borrowed" experience.  Still a funny story, but I question it’s origin.  No insult intended, I’m just curious.

See?  It wasn’t an accident at all.  It was a very intentional release of internal gas to make him feel better. It’s a GuyThing ™. I swear that if farts were colored, we’d have contests to see if we could mix the colors when we were with other guys. Maybe then women would appreciate it as an art form. — Do not underestimate your abilities.  That is your boss’s job. It is your job to find ways around your boss’s roadblocks.

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? I hope you remember my story when they start getting frustrated.
