Is There Much Air in a Tomato?

Yesterday I was commenting to my friends Zan and Claire that Miss M was strangely less flatulent since we’ve moved house. But tonight, as I carried her to her room wrapped in a big soft towel, I felt the staccato rhythm of a burping bottom dappling my arm, and heard the usual machine gun rasp of four year old farts.

Me: “You are windy tonight M. What did you have for dinner?”

Miss M: “Twump salad.”

Well I had to ask.

    Very witty retort there!! My family (mum, dad bro and sis) are obsessed by breaking wind, it was rare that any of us would, so if someone accidentally “had a moment” it was remembered for years to come. My sig. other does it all the time, so there’s no mystique left for my kids…shame.

    Corey, I think so, hee hee.

    Expat Mum, ack I’m used to it. We’re a farty family. :D And I’ve not been tagged in an age so I’ll play. :D

    Mie, hmmm, I don’t know, maybe rasssssspberry dressing??

    Dumdad, it made me giggle. :D

    Karisma yep, it’s all in the name.

    Iota, yep, it’s all good.

    Daryl I would love that, though actually she’s quite good at being her own rhythm section. ;D

    Katherine there is definitely no mystique at our house. Maybe it’s to do with eating a lot of veg?? :D

    It’s a stage they go through! Kai (five, just) was eating his usual 5 yorkshire puddings the other Sunday and informed his granddad “When I’ve finished these I won’t fart!” How kind of him to tell us. LOL
