Too Funny!

Okay, the kids and I are in the car driving home from lunch with my parents, brother and his girlfriend. It seems like many of my stories happen in the car. Anyways, we're driving along and Garrett announces that he has to fart and that it's going to be a big "one". He does it and he says that it was just a little one. Then he explains how it's nice to let people know when you are going to fart. I told him "thank you" for letting us know and that it is polite to warn people when you do have to fart.



Then there's my daughter Reese! I begin to hear what sounds like bubble wrap being twisted and popped. I ask her if she is farting. She laughs and says, "yes, it's me mommy". We continue driving and I hear it again. I said, "Reese" and she said, "mommy I'm farting like Walter". It took me a minute for it to register but I figured out what she was talking about. The Easter bunny brought Garrett a book called "Walter, the farting dog". It's a hilarious book. She remembered that the dog farted throughout the entire book and apparently she made a connection with it. I laughed with her! The teacher inside me was thinking how amazing it was that she made a text to real-life connection.


She continued with her flatulence and eventually said, "just call me Walter, okay mommy". Needless to say, it continued all the way home and she got a kick out of it every time I called her Walter. That girl is crazy and definitely makes our life more entertaining.

Here's my crazy girl!

Here they are having a good time playing outside.
