I wouldn't normally write on the topic of...well, "breaking wind." Not the typical blog entry or conversation starter. But in this case, I'm compelled to dedicate a brief couple lines to the topic.
I happen to love the age of four. It's one of my favorites. Each of my three children, after they have turned four, have been a constant source of laughter and entertainment. Parenting is hard work, as anyone with a child can relate, but the words and phrases that come from their mouths at this age are priceless and make the whole parenting gig worthwhile.
Seeing the world through a young child's eyes is refreshing and life-affirming, and my youngest always delivers. His current phrase is, "scusemenoproblem"(Excuse me no problem). Every time the child's bottom speaks, he reply's in a low monotone voice, "scusemenoproblem." If in fact, his bottom happens to speak in succession, M will reply, "scusemenoproblem, scusemenoproblem, scusemenoproblem." Of course, I must tell you, that now the whole family has adopted, scusemenoproblem.
