Denisemomof4 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: They're boys. Enjoy it. They grow up too soon! I'll NEVER forget the time I bought my boys a remote control fart machine for a gag joke. BAD idea. We had our very, very conservative pastor and his family over for dinner. We were just getting to know them! The boys put the machine under the pastor's chair and kept pushing the button. He looked so nervous! I was SO EMBARRASSED!!!!!!!!!! We all laughed when the boys pulled it out. :lol::lol: I later found out this pastor had ulcerative colitis. Poor guy!:blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choirfarm Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It never ends. All you can do is train them not to do at the dinner table or church, etc. They will always think it is funny. It's a guy thing. Umm.. no, not always. Neither of my boys fart. It is my 9yo girl!!!!!! Her 14 year old brother is disgusted at how much she'll fart. She thinks it is hilarious. She also bought whoopie cushions at the AWANA store.. Neither of my boys were remotely interested!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Uh...my dh of 23 years who's been with me through the birth of our 5 dc, insists he's never heard me do "it" (I don't even say the word, it's the "F" word, in my world, lol!:D) I have a lot of boys in my household, and made it extremely clear right from the start that NO WAY IN THE WORLD would I ever find that anything other than the rudest of behavior. My boys don't do it in my presence. If they did, I'd assign a thorough bathroom cleaning from the offender, each and every time. If they can hold back in front of their dear sweet girlfriends, you know they can hold back in front of me. :) Yep. Same here. It happens accidentally at times, but never, ever on purpose. I'm sorry, but that's just gross. I was around a group of boys in high school school having a burping contest. It literally made me gag.

Made for some very interesting moments! :lol: we were at a public competition (forget the name of it) and dd12 was a baby at the time so I brought a diaper bad everywhere we went. Yup, boys hid it in there. I was sitting on the VERY crowded bleachers when it went off. :lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbhoward Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Wait....It's a BOY thing? I think my girls missed the memo :glare::lol: No joke! I have 5 girls and they all think it is hilarious. Well, not the baby but I assume she will learn soon enough. I have managed to teach them that they need to go to the bathroom to release their gas during meal times. Any other time is fair game though. Thanks dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalicoKat Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 :iagree:And beware sharing a blanket with them while cuddling after a bowl of beans. It's known as a game of "turtle" and DH taught them how to play. :glare::blink::lol: oh my, :lol::lol::lol: It's called "peek-a-boo turtles" here.

Live2Ride Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Girls, Let me just tell ya'll that I havn't laughed so hard in a long time. Reading this whole thread is cracking me up! I've got tears rolling and my dd 14 keeps asking "what is so funny"...I can't even begin to go into details because I start cracking up again, lol! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in KY Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 This is DH replying for my DW... We call it "audio-olfactory performance art" The Gilbreths (Cheaper By the Dozen) used to call it an organ recital. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2Ride Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Every year the young men at church get a seminar about proper dating behavior from their male leaders. After one seminar I had several young men & other leaders tell me that Dh's dating tip was the most memorable & useful. I preened all through church thinking that now all the others were jealous that I have such a thoughtful and courteous husband. Until I learned that his tip was to always open the car door for your date so you can fart as much as you want as you walk around to the driver side of the car. I always wondered what the big grin through the windshield was for. Amber in SJ HILARIOUS! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustybug Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 My aunt used to call farts, "puffs" too. One time when I was a preteen, we all went out to dinner (my aunt, uncle, cousin and I) and I don't remember what on earth we were talking about, except that my uncle used the word "feces." I very LOUDLY exclaimed, "Feces? That's the remnants of a puff!" only to notice all the other diners at the tables near us looking at me. lol Sidenote: For those of you who have DHs who "would never!" do that sort of thing in front of you or they would have severe consequences, please explain to me exactly HOW you get a full grown man to NOT do something?

Alte Veste Academy Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Sidenote: For those of you who have DHs who "would never!" do that sort of thing in front of you or they would have severe consequences, please explain to me exactly HOW you get a full grown man to NOT do something? Well, I grew up disgusted by my father doing it around us because it just felt disrespectful. He did have a callous, disrespectful attitude about it. Also, there were no boys and my mom and sister and I didn't have that kind of humor as children. There wasn't that kind of jovial attitude about it which could have made it acceptable. He would say he couldn't control it. Well, bull. Just bull. If you are sitting next to the President, or the queen, or your boss, or a girl on a date, or in an elevator, etc., etc., etc., you know you can control it. DH is respectful of me because of that. He admits it is 99.9% controllable, even if that means stepping into another room. To me, it's a matter of them knowing if you're really offended or sensitive to it and then just exercising respect for you just like they would for any other issue you really cared about. That said, all bets are off when it's just him and the boys. And after this thread, I think I might get DH a whoopee cushion for his stocking. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and burps. :glare: I used to fight it and told them that it's not ladylike. My oldest promptly answered, "Then I don't want to be a lady".

Heather in Neverland Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 While I am still working on my sons, my dh and I have never farted in front of each other in 16 years so yeah, it can be done if it is important to you. How did I get dh to do it? I simply asked him not to. He complied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
