On Farting {pt ii}

The Dad: That’s not just ANY laugh. That’s her “Farting Laugh’. She just farted.
The 5 y.o. (giggling): No I didn’t.
The Dad: Mom knows what all of your cries mean. I *know* what all of your laughs mean. The ‘I just pranked my sister’ laugh. Or when you are laughing at Phineas and Ferb. And I know – you just giggled with your ‘Fart Laugh’, meaning you just farted!
The 5 y.o.: No I didn’t, Daddy. Smell my butt if you don’t believe me!
