Can you guess which one of these boys asked me if I could "smell the greatness of (his) fart" the other day?
If you have girls, you picked one of the above. If you have boys, you picked:
all three of them. Because as a parent of boys, you know the moment one of them comes up with something that goddamn brilliant, the rest of them will repeat it FOR DAYS.
I honestly do not know how you moms of only boys do it. My one boy drives me insane daily! Oh and I love him to bits too.

*sigh* I'm a mom of boys too. Unlike you I find bodily functions hilarious but my eldest isn't verbal but my two year old does greet his penis every time I take his diaper off! "hello penis!"

I was raised with all-girls. I didn't know anything about boys until I had one. I didn't even know they peed standing up or didn't wip until my son was four and his babysitter questioned me on his toilet habits.
Boys are weird.

Ha! As soon as you asked us the question, I thought, "It was a trio performance!" Oh, yes, fist bumps, fellow Mom o' boys....

Someday I'm going to hear that line, I just know it.

So, did you appreciate the greatness of the fart or not?!

Unfortunately, that doesn't go away with age. I just asked my boss the same thing yesterday, except I used "awesomeness."

Two boys, 6 and 12. I feel your pain. When I wake him in the morning, the oldest greets me with a fart. Every time. It's like his butt is saying, "Good morning world!"
Am loving the purple(?) mohawk!

I was the youngest of three girls. I had three girls myself. I know not of these boys things. I thought only husbands did that!

They are so damn cute that they have to be ornery. I know the type..they charm you, then turn on you..like with the farting!

You crack me up! in my house, growing up, farts were Not Funny. now, my kids have an uncle who has taught them the wonders of "pull my finger." "The Greatness of Farts" - an impressive version of the power of small lol!

My girl would find that hilarious and would be doing it right along with them. Brilliant.

AHAHAHA... so absolutely true!!!!!
Also, Suzy... my Middl'un always greets me with a fart in the mornings, too. It is clearly a boy-thing.

I love the hawk on the right. If only I had enough hair. And tell them yes we can smell the greatness in his fart.

Too funny! Our girls always try to blame each other for the suddenly smelly van.
