The art of farting



I remember sniggering as a school girl when the rumour went around school that even the Queen farts. I could not believe how she would ever get away with it. Last weekend I was visiting my little nephew Fraser. At one point, he did the biggest fart and looked quite impressed with himself. I had no idea such a loud noise could come from such a little bottom. Everyone seemed extremely happy with this event, and comments such as "wow, that was a good one" and "well done little man" echoed around the room.

I was just wondering, at what stage in life do people stop applauding the fact you farted. When will Fraser be told that despite the fact his farting has always been highly appreciated, it's time to pretend that these things don't happen.

My advice to Fraser is to fart away while he has the chance. He should enjoy his free-farting days while he can. Before too long he will be expected to show some restraint, or at least learn to blame it on the cat.

In my family we are still congratulated on a good fart but we might be weird that way.. One time my brother recorded a fart on the answering machine and we (my family) played it over and over laughing hard each time. This went on for a good half hour. Anyway your little nephew looks soooo cute!! Glad to hear he is a good farter - he will probably be a good match for Thea
