tooter

Why is it that tooting is so funny? I'm an adult and still almost every time I toot I can't help but laugh. Almost meaning not when my embarassment would prevent me. I really dislike the word fart too. It seems so crude. It's a dirty word really. Toot seems so innocent even when the smell is anything butt. hehe. My first memeory of tooting was a K-Mart. My parents were talking to someone we had run into and I guess I let one rip. My Dad looked down at me with a scowl on his face and said in a quick whisper "pinch!" I'm still not pinching as much as I should I'm sure.
Is it not amazing that we each have our own brand. For example...I know my Dads toots. they have this really strange tangy smell. It's one of the ones thats simply unbearable. The *plug your nose and run for it kind*. Then theres the infant ones that are as close to pleaseant as a toot can be. I also find it funny that we enjoy our own toots. Even taking deep breathes to enjoy the full bodied aroma. Or maybe only I do that...hmmmm. I get a real kick out of the on your lap ones. Its just to funny when a baby is on your lap and they think nothing of just letting them rip. Funny how certain foods make a differnent odors too. chili, cabbage... My hubby is the King of gas. loud and proud! Isn't it gross when you both have gas and go to bed only to wake up in the morning to find the whole room filled with this haze of toot. Nobody lite a match or we're goners! Or when you've been sitting on the same chair for a while and when you get up this really stale toot has been lingering just waiting to escape. PU! Well, I could go on but my mother would be so ashamed of me that I'm gonna quit there.

Please be kind and pinch until your outside.

I have a 9 month old baby, who toots up a storm, all throughout the day, but he especially toots whenever he poops his pants. He will be playing with his toys, when all of a sudden he stops playing and starts loudly tooting, which is then followed by grunting sounds, a bright red face, and more explosive tooting.
This grunting/tooting goes on for sevral minutes, untill he is all finished filling his pants, and then he goes back to playing like nothing ever happened. Of course, meanwhile, I'm on the floor laughing my head off. It never fails, I giggle every time he toots, especailly when he toots up a storm while he's busy pooping his pants. And I'm like you, I hate the word fart, it sounds crude, I much prefure the word toot. And the smell? Well, I must be weird because I love the smell of my baby's toots and poopy diapers. Other people (including his dad) will run for the door when my 9 month old son toots or fills his pants, but not me, I enjoy the odor, even though I always playfully wrinkle up my nose and say, "Shooooweee! Smells somebody just tooted or pooped their pants for mommy." What a cute topic! :)
