What a Charmer
Limelet #3 (age 11, male): Hey, Mom, guess what song I can fart to!
Me: Uuuhhh, I can't begin to imagine the necessary range of pitches eking outta yer butt for that.
#3: No!!! Listen! Guess what it is! (His cupped hand is inserted into his sweaty armpit as he flaps an arm like a beheaded chicken. His face contorts into expressions of rock star rapture.) Didja hear it? Didja??
Me: Uuumm, it was impressive in it's power but difficult to catch the tune.
#3: (incredulous) Moooooommm, it was Sweet Home Alabama!
Who is crazier, the kid who comes up with this or the mother who finds it amusing?
