Slugs and snails and puppy dogs' tails

So I'm as comfortably ensconced on the lounge as that rotten loungesuite allows me to be, when the Cherub climbs onto me and says Mummy can you smell my bottom? And he starts waving his rear-end at me. And I say with alarm and distaste in my voice Why? Have you done a stinky fart? and he says Just smell my bottom and I protest vehemently, I don't want to smell your bottom, but by then he's brought the stinky fart over with him so in effect I have smelt his stinky bottom but he won't get off me until I tell him I've smelt his bottom and then he hops off me with a pleased and slightly guilty smile and tells me I smelled it too.

  3. Aiiiii! What is it with males?! It's almost as though they think there's a direct correlation between penis size and the stinkiness of their gas.

  4. You must be so proud right now, Stomper. Pip came home with an absolutely HILARIOUS note from his mate with Master Bates written on it. I was proud too.

  6. It would be funnier if you knew he'd stop it by 13. In my experience it doesn't even stop at 31...

  7. And this is how you know he's a boy. Bart humor, it's genetic.

  11. I don't think it's just boys. My 4yo lets them rip then giggles hysterically. Luckily she lacks in smell what she makes up for in volume.
