Our first fart joke!

[JoyS]

Driving along today and a little voice pipes up from the back seat:

Oranges and Lemons, say the farts of St Clemens
You owe me five farthings, say the farts of St Martins
When will you pay me, say the farts of Old Bailey
When I grow rich, say the farts of Shoreditch
When will that be, say the farts of Stepney
I do not know say the great farts of Bow.

Almost crashed the car I was laughing so hard. DD is 2.7, not sure what made her think to substitute farts for bells but oh my it is funny.

Blimey ... I'd have been delighted my ds was able to string those words together at 2.7 !!!! Maybe the fart part came from nursery ?

Doesn't go to nursery but her 5 yo cousin was here last week, there were some fart discussions so it must have been on her mind.

(not trying to brag, was just so funny I had to share!)

pmsl!!

I'd never have been able to control the car!

My ds's first fart joke was much less eloquent....during a quiet moment during my friend's wedding a little voice was heard to say 'my done a windy pops mummy'. Didn't quite know what to say!! . Sure it must be on their video.

Oh goodness, we met a new babysitter yesterday. DS was rather bouncy to say the least and, amongst other things said, "your name is Jennifer. Jennifer. Jennifart! Ha ha ha. Fart. JenniFART, JanniFART, JenniFART..."

great way to impress a new sitter. He's 3.4 and this is the first time he has realised that the word fart is amusing.

She laughed nervously, out of politeness I think, and then I ushered her out before DS could say anything worse

My dh, who is the windiest person ever, I mean he really really farts a lot, has banned the word in our house. The children are surprisingly compliant. I am the only person in thehouse that doesn't find fart jokes funny, but really dh is so noisy and smelly I don't find them funny at all (and I was brought up posh, so prior to dh farts didn't really exist )

Superbunny it can't be the first time she's been called Jennifart by a small boy. Did you manage not to laugh?

lmao!! oh how funny

My ds ran and got to the phone before I did, I was in the bathroom but hurried to get to it! I just caught the tail end of his convo.... 'yeh I will get her, Bye bum bum'

Took the phone off him and it was the bank manager thank god he saw the funny side!! now have the phone up a little higher!! lil monkey!! I was so

oh and he has just turned 3, he started to say hello bum bum to people thinking its hilarious!!!

do you think cavemen used to laugh at their farts or is it something we've evolved to do? often find myself wondering about the earliest recorded fart humour, when did farts become funny? they never cease to amuse ME

lmao

but it worries me that I have this to come... ds is nearly 2 and already farts are highly amusing. I was telling mum about the hilarity he had farting in the bath when ds pipes up - ds fart, like this. and let out a fart.
and he did it twice

so he can already fart on demand and hes not even 2.

ds is 11mo now, whenever dp (or anyone else) farts or burps he always says 'paaarp' and giggles....

he's been doing it for quite a while and obviously finds it hilarious. to be quite honest so do we!

love the song joy!

That song is hilarious! DS (4.9) finds farts screamingly funny. I started a star chart for him at the weekend to encourage him to stay in his own bed, and he and DP then devised a fart chart which has green clouds instead of stars.

DE 22 months was asleep in our bed the other night, lying on front bum in the air, as they do. She lets out an impressive stream of popping, then all is quiet for a second then a little voice pipes up "Daddy farty bum". I nearly died from trying not to laugh, she went straight back to sleep bless her, but full marks for the diversion of blame.

These are all just classic! LMAO at the fart chart and blaming daddy!

I have three sons, so our house is Fart-Joke Central. We even have songs. The eldest is 15 - I am fully expecting the fart jokes to carry on until they all leave home. And then I expect they'll email them to us.[resigned emoticon]

My ds went through a stage of being a bit of a handful at school, and one day he came back in deep trouble, and really didn't want to talk about it. We got a letter about it either that day or the next day. All written down in black and white was something like this:

"ds called a teacher Mrs Poo Poo when being told to stand still in line. On going to the lunch hall he than called another teacher Mrs Pee Pee, and then another teacher Mrs Willy"

Then it was all about him realising the seriousness of his misbehaviour, and how we should reinforce this at home. I did have to try very hard not to grin when I was reading it to him! One for the wedding, I think...

Nooka, that is priceless. How you managed to read it without blaring with laughter I'll never know.

i mentioned to dp that farts must just be inherently funny - surely a baby thinking that saying 'paaarp' is hilarious is proof of this???

farts = comedy. simple as that i guess!

pmsl at mrs willy

Only realised DS2 understood the word 'lies' when he accused DH of farting at the meal table. DH denied it and DS2 (aged 4) declared him a farty liar!

In our house poo is poo and and farts are pops. When my dd 2.5 does either she will happily anounce it.

Come to think of it, if anyone in the house does either she will announce it.

This afternoon, while i was preparing dinner, she was sitting on the counter in the kitchen and pushed out a particularly wet sounding fart. She giggled to herself and decided to name it a 'poo pop'

I was quite proud of her really, it was just the right name for it.
