Safety!
This is what my kids yell after they fart. For if they are caught farting and do not shout “safety” the hearer/smeller of the fart yells “doorknob” and the fater must go touch a doorknob.
This is commonplace in our home.
Doesn’t matter if no one heard the fart. You’ll know it within moments. Like today… we were at the park. The youngest started to make her way to the playset. She was WAY out of fart-hearing distance. She looked over at me. I thought she thought I thought she walked too far from me, and was looking at me to see if I’d call her back.
Nope.
She looked at me… head cocked, with a bit of a smirk…
Half-yelled, but never missed a step… “SAFETY!”
Good thing she said that, cuz it’s hard to find a doorknob at the park. Had I hear that fart… I TOTALLY would have made her find a doorknob. No mercy.

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! That is a hilarious tradition and a great story. Hmm, we should come up with something like that. *Some* consequence, however silly. Because what I get right now is my 6 year-old farting and then turning around to smell it, whilst laughing and declaring, “Mmm, yummy toot!” Weirdo.
Hi-larious. How the heck did THAT ever get started? Maybe I should make our kitten Prudence touch a doorknob every time SHE farts. I’m not sure she’s smart enough to learn that, but she can be taught.
Safety!
My friends’ kids call it blooming, as in “did you bloom?” ha!
My mom insists on calling it “fluffing.” It’s the worst euphemism ever. Anyway your game makes punchbuggy/slugbug sound so-so-TAME.
We were also forced to call it “fluffing” by our Mom growing up. What the hell is that? Sounds creepy and wrong.
I LOVE your game! Did Joel come up with that?
You always make me laugh!
Wow. I cannot believe your kids fart like that and talk about it. In public and all. And then you blog about it. Somebody needs to go to manners school…truly unbelievable. By the way, do you know what would happen if I used scissors to cut your poop? My son was wondering so I though I’d ask around.
Safety is good, but my girl friend says this: “OH! There are frogs here!” It is hilarious!!!
