Don't read if easily offended

Not at all amusing, in fact quite tacky did you have a day off school today ?

I think it is funny.

Not particularly funny, but why anyone should be 'offended' by it is beyond me...

LOL.

I laughed .

In our house , should I pass wind ( which of course I don't) my husband says ' pardon me' and apologises .

Well trained.

Usually blame the dog

harrigran - sorry you were not amused, but feel your comment was unnecessary. Have not had a pointed comment made to me on here before and now I know why some people get upset.

Grow up - if you don't like my thread don't read it.

In theory it was quite funny. But the phrasing of it wasn't very good. So much of the humour was lost. But I did chuckle slightly.

I might be overthinking it.

What I found funny was the way the embarrassment factor increased as the story progressed.

Oh dear, I suppose fart jokes are a bit childish to the more serious among us. DH, who is never amused by such things, always comments sniffily on the way my family goes into fits about such matters.

No. It needed a bit of padding between the penultimate paragraph and the final one.

It's like a good story spoiled.

I am over-thinking it.

There is always one who never fails!

What do you mean, grannylyn?

Having had 2 DDs I was surprised to find how funny little boys find farting . Even some men too for that matter.

Even the word reduces my 3 little DGSs to hysterical laughter.

Most kids find bodily functions hilarious! But a primary classroom after broccoli or cabbage for school lunch is not the freshest place to be

The number and variety of 'fart joke' birthday cards aimed at men and boys reinforces your point, NanaandGrampy!

Whatever the post, someone doesn't like it!

You wanna make something of it?

Well I thought it was funny and giggled!

Me 2

The worst possible place to be is singing in the row behind a line of cathedral choristers who have been fed baked beans for tea in the school canteen. It was somewhat difficult to concentrate on the beauty of the music!

When I was growing up we were taught at school that "breaking wind is a perfectly normal bodily function and is not necessarily a social faut pas. Apologizing for that act draws attention to something which would be better ignored and therefore that is what is not socially acceptable. Likewise giggling, laughing or joking about it even through embarrassment is equally frowned upon as being unmannerly."

Sorry should have said "natural"!
