To find tooting funny

My LO just woke herself and me up with a massive trumpety fart which made me giggle no end. Not the first time I have found her tooting amusing, especially if she is looking otherwise the angelic little baby with her cherubic blonde locks and fluttering eyelashes.

We jokingly say things like ‘that’s not very ladylike!’ which we shouldn’t be gender does not discriminate when it comes to flatus and digestion. And it’s a sign that everything is working as it should!

Less impressed by adult sized boogers or massive nappy presents as you actually have to do something about those and they’re gross, rather than just lying back and laughing.

Tooting?
As for it not being ladylike, wtf? Hmm

I thought you meant Tooting as in south London.

gggrrrargh · 14/09/2018 08:36

I thought it was going to be about cars beeping!

MarthasGinYard · 14/09/2018 08:37

Also thought you meant Tooting SW17

borntobequiet · 14/09/2018 08:37

I too(ting) thought it was London related.

Appygolucky1234 · 14/09/2018 08:38

I was also woken about 5 times in the night by her crying and looking for boob - was not laughing then!

Not funny if my husband does it, just the incongruity of a little baby that I found funny!

I felt stupid putting fart in the title!

re Ladylike- I know, it’s silly isn’t it- but funny how you catch yourself saying things that you know aren’t PC!

White vans beeping not funny especially if overtaking me rapidly from nowhere!!

I thought you meant this Grin

MissusGeneHunt · 14/09/2018 08:44

Damn, thought this was going to be a 'funny place name' thread... Pah.

'Twatt' in Orkney is my fave... Grin

iklboo- what is that? Freedom for tooting (the place?).

MissisGeneHunt - people in Cockfosters must have lower house prices as a result of silly name, no? Like people who live at no.13 having lower valuations.

@Appygolucky1234 - showing my age, it's from a 70s tv comedy show called Citizen Smith about a bloke who thought he was a revolutionary communist / Marxist in Tooting (and nobody taking him seriously).

'Wolfie is the self-proclaimed leader of the revolutionary Tooting Popular Front (the TPF, merely a small bunch of his friends), the goals of which are "Power to the People" and "Freedom for Tooting". In reality, he is an unemployed slacker and petty criminal whose plans fail through his apathy, ineptitude and inexperience.'

Iklboo

Feeling ancient nowSad

I remember it like yesterday

Appygolucky1234 · 14/09/2018 08:54

iklboo - much YouTubing will be had, sounds quite good :)

Unfortunately many criminally inclined and incompetent slackers are now involved in running the country. Or should I have said ruining the country.

bsbabas · 14/09/2018 08:56

Farting is the funniest thing ever fact!

Appygolucky1234 · 14/09/2018 08:59

Looks like that show is all on YouTube if anyone wants to revisit! It’s the man from ‘My family’ (as I know him!).

I thought Citizen Smith was hilarious, mind you I was in primary school at the time so possibly I wouldn't find it that funny now. The same is probably true for all the 70s comedies, the humour would probably seem either banal or unsavoury now.

Appygolucky1234 · 14/09/2018 09:02

@bsbabas I sense sarcasm but no bother!

I have obviously fallen down the well of ‘everything my LO does is amazing/amusing’ down to her, erm, emissions! Grin

iklboo · 14/09/2018 09:02

Yes I was in primary school too and had a bit of a crush on Robert Lindsay Blush

Appygolucky1234 · 14/09/2018 09:03

The Good Life is still funny today I think! I think that humour still works today and except for the gender role stuff isn’t toooo offensive today.

If I had chickens I’d call them Margo and Jerry.
