Not gonna lie, AB is into talking about farts. She’s 5, she likes farts, that’s how it is. We have a new thing where she is the “farting princess” and whenever she farts I say
“Well done, your farting majesty!”
and if she farts again,
“All the farting kingdom is enjoying your royal fart!”
She also likes “The Monster Mash” so I wrote a fart-centered take on this song which she really enjoys. Lyrics follow.
I was working in the lab, that’s the story I tell
When my nose caught wind of an eerie smell
It came from deep within my pants
A most malodorous circumstance
It was the fart
(It was the monster fart)
It was the fart
(It gave me quite a start)
It was the fart
(It tore my nose apart!)
It was the fart
Before the smell had even thinned
I once again had broken wind
I fear I know just what this means
I should have told them “Hold the beans!”
It was the fart
(repeat)
I remember reading somewhere that the Pythagoreans had a taboo against eating beans because the flatulence was evidence of a reincarnated spirit embodied therein. Women trying to become pregnant were excused from the taboo.
When I saw the title I presumed you had some mathematical take on this recent story (guess I JUMPED to the wrong conclusion):

Now I understand where Caleb got his ideas for his class act-out story last year….Tanya must be SO proud :)
