For those of you who associate with them, you know that
little boys find bodily functions hilarious.
Screamingly so.
If someone passes, in the course of living, a bit of air –
either up or down – the little boys in the room are rolling on the floor
laughing (Or ROFL in text-speak).
The subtleties that may be a by-product of such occurrences, they might be missing.
Maybe I should explain . . .
My eldest granddaughter had just finished eating.
Things were processing nicely.
In the course of said processing, a bit of air was released.
Resulting in an explosion commonly known as a ‘belch’.
She smiled and said:
“Excuse me for my rudeness.
It wasn’t very smart.
But if it'd gone the other way,
It would have been a . . .”
She judiciously paused there.
Her little brother bobbed up from whatever he had been doing
and shouted, “Strawberry!”
Sometimes, they get it.
And sometimes . . . they don’t.
