Boys…. That means farts are a big deal. (Gramma O, if you’re reading this, sorry – passing gas is a big deal….) These “barking spiders” are revered in a sick way. They love to talk about them. To make them, to rate them, to tell jokes about them. Gas is good, fun entertainment.
Maybe it’s a girl thing, but I am not as enamored with these gaseous emissions as the rest of my family.
I began to tell them to settle down, to stop screwing around, the usual…. then it reaches the front seat. Dear Lord! Yes! Roll down the windows! Quick!!!! Be quick!
To misquote Phoebe from FRIENDS, “Good God! This must be what evil smells like!” (from the episode with the “mocklate”…)
In the middle of this hullabaloo, it is little Grant who is proudly trying to make himself heard above the din: “It’s me! It’s me! That was me! It’s me!” Good job brothers. You did such a good job of teaching your little brother the value of a stinky gas bomb that he is shouting to make sure he gets proper credit and recognition for it. oy.
While Grant continues to proudly claim responsibility, the brothers continue to “eeeww!” and laugh. Handsome Hubby, laughing while rolling down the windows says, “Geez. If he could, he would climb it and plant a flag on top!”
I am not sure if I had tears of laughter from that brilliant one-liner, or if my eyes were just watering due to the noxious fumes.
I don’t understand these men I live with. And I think they’re all quite proud of our little Stinky.
This is hysterical.
At the risk of outing myself as someone who thinks gas is funny, I repeat; hysterical!
[Almost makes me miss my brothers.]
V, I’m with you…I just don’t get it. Why is it so funny??
ANd it is not just limited to boys…my 8 year old girlie and her 6 year old brother AND her 35 year old Daddy think it is the funniest thing on earth to pass gas…tooting….as I MAKE them call it!!
Funny post as usual! Thanks for the smile!

OMG, I have tears in my eyes I am laughing so much. That is hilarious. My son is proud too when he does the same thing. Boys…Boys…(shaking head)
It’s funny how God created all men alike in this sense (no pun intended). Anything to do with defecation or bodily gas emission turns my husband into a 12 year old boy. I’m sure my son will be not different when he reaches Grant’s age. I do love that he wanted to take the credit.
HYS-TER-I-CAL!
Just so know my house of sugar and spice and most things nice could probably give your snips and snails a run for their money!
Motherhood, isn’t it a beautiful thing?!!?
Hey there- I just posted my award! Thanks again so much for gifting me with it!!

I have to agree with Housewife Savant here. Potty humor is HUGE in my house. I’m the only girl, and sometimes I wonder if I didn’t start it! Too funny.
LOL!! Too funny. My husband gets the rolled eyes and chorus of eewww’s from my girls and if it’s them, they make a big funny deal trying to pass it off on someone else. No planting a flag here 🙂 Although that is one funny line!
ROFLMAO! That has to be one of the funniest posts I’ve read yet! Could it be that we all understand the boys club or what??
I’m not ready and I know it’ll be here before I know it.
Loved the quote from Friends!
Oh my gosh, that is so funny! Hubby is outnumbered over here, but we still humor him from time to time. 🙂
This is so freakin’ funny. Boys are so gross.
I don’t get it why is something that smells bad and is an awful smell so damn funny???? I give my husband a card about Flatulence at least once a year because he thinks they are the best. My daughter is 3 and when she passes gas and says “excuse me I passed gas” he rolls on the floor. WHYYYYY???? I don’t understand. Guess I never will. I do not look forward to my day when my son and husband bond over the flatulence!!
