"Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me"

You farted and it stinks

As much as I like to be a classy, well rounded(not my body) woman, I do find humor in the most inappropriate things. Emily has just become aware of her ability to pass gas. She isn't shy about it either. She has never burped since she was an infant and becomes agitated if anyone else burps aloud. She doesn't like the sound. However she does find toots from other people funny. I suppose this led to her fascination with flatulence and her ability to get attention from it.

At least 3 days a week she passes gas in the car. It's loud and it stinks. One of the other kids usually blurts out "You farted and it stinks" to her. Now Emily doesn't have a ton of unscripted speech. She tends to take what other people say and apply that to her own conversations with herself or others. She also has a difficult time with pronouns. For instance if I were to say to her, "You need to go potty". She will say to me "You need to go potty" when she needs to go instead of "I need to go potty". It is something we are working on. Well after repeatedly being told "you farted and it stinks" by her siblings, she likes to repeat that aloud when she passes gas. It is quite humiliating when I am sitting next to her in a crowd of people and she toots and blurts "You farted and it stinks". All eyes on me after being accused of letting one rip by my 10 year old.
