Old men will always be boys!

Here is my 74 and 3/4 year old father holding the "souvenir" he bought on his trip to Lancaster, PA. My first introduction to this "souvenir" was when I was helping my parents unload their car last night. I heard a farting sound come from my dad, but was suspicious. You see, I made a discovery a few years ago. By mistake really. Unintentionally, I discovered I could tell the difference between my parents' flatuations.

How you ask?

One summer on holidays, my friend and I were visiting in the living room of our trailer while my parents slept in the back bedroom. All of a sudden in the middle of an important conversation, we heard a loud fart come from the back of the trailer. I interjected with, "oh that was just my dad."

Approximately 3 minutes later, we heard another loud fart coming from the same direction. Without missing a beat, I calmly said, "oh that is my mom."

Immediately in mid -sentence I gasped! I realized I could tell my parent's farts apart! My friend and I laughed hysterically! Did I have a new-found gift?

Thus, I knew the sound coming from my dad last night was fake. A-ha! He was caught in the act trying to trick his daughter. She was not fooled!

Giggling , my dad excitedly showed me the eight different farting sounds this gadget can make. He actually has names for them. I can only remember "the wet one" and the "one that sounds like your mother!" ( Apparently my dad has the "gift" too)

There is NEVER a dull moment in my family!

Old men will always be boys and I am okay with that!
