My 4 year-old DD is really into "Pocahontas" right now, and is always singing "Colors of the Wind". Sometimes I like to mix the words up a little bit when I catch her "tooting her own horn" so to speak. I tell her I can "Hear the Voices of your Wind".
Ummmm, let's see. We tell my son we heard his motorboat, or call him a motor butt. He, on the other hand, loudly announced "I FARTED!" and doesn't care where he is or who can hear him.
And yes, of course I blame the dog. Although nobody believes me, because everyone knows when it is really the dog. Ack.
NEVER. Loud and proud baby! I ALWAYS claim what's mine. It's pride of ownership.
I have actually been known to chase my dog around the house so I can fart right on his head.
And while we are talking of farts, I hate when people call them anything other than a fart. Toot/tooting, foof/foofy (DMIL likes that one), poot/pooting.
The "x" is broken. This one is a visual. If you are sitting on the couch, it becomes "the couch is broken." Or a chair. Or the hallway.
Flatulence. (You had to be there from day one. I taught my then-2-year old niece to say she had flatulence when she farted. Can you imagine that? A sweet, kind baby girl yelling FLATULENCE at the top of her lungs...at a wedding? Yeah, it is still funny and she's in her second year of college.)
DH taught our now 11 year old DD to call her farts. So, for several years when she was preschool age she would say Pooter every single time she passed gas. We finally had to get her to stop, because she was starting school. She thought everyone said when they had pooted.
I can't believe I'm posting here. I had a dear, dear friend who would never say "fart". She called it the "f" word, she just hated it. She would use the other "f" word freely, but not fart. Instead of fart she would say "rose petal".
The boys and I call it "pooting" or "letting a pootie"..sounds a little nicer than Fart.. I have two dogs I can blame it on..one of them is always nearby.
I have heard of stepping on a frog, too, from when I was a little kid!
