Walking with my grandaughter yesterday I very quietly passed windblush the oldest one (5+) said "nanna did you fart trump. I whispered "yes but don't tell anyone" she agreed. Less than 2 minutes later I saw her telling her younger brother. In a very very loud voice he shouted" nanna (his sister) said you farted. Every one looked so I quickly said "shush" so he flung his arms around me and shouted to his sister( and everyone else's into the bargain) I don't mind if you fartedI still love you nanna......I AM NEVER GOING BACK THERE AGAIN! [ blush]

Even my exactly one year old DGD giggles when she farts. That may be the feeling in her nappy though.

I found a wonderful farting machine in a cheapy shop. I was dying to buy it for my DGS for his birthday but my daughter gave me a 'look'. I did have fun though 'farting' it as people walked by the isle, enjoyed this for about 5 minutes until my friend pulled me away.

Farting just IS funny! Don't know why. DH and I have a wonderful self inflating whoopee cushion which gives the DGS`s endless entertainment. Actually its kept in situ even when the GCs aren't around and we still enjoy it. Sad but true!!

Why is farting so funny! It causes so much hilarity with all four DGCs & their parents! DGD1 can almost fart to order. Her cousin is jealous of this great skill and tries his best to match her performance!

I was babysitting my youngest grandchild a couple of weeks ago and had taken her upstairs, her 16 year old sister accompanying me to show me where all the bits and pieces were. I was dying to pass wind. It was 'just there' if you know what I mean. Eventually the older girl went downstairs to watch TV with her brother. I sighed with relief and let out the most horrendous 'trump' you have ever heard. It seemed to go on and on. I sat with the baby in the rocking chair to give her a bottle, looked down beside me and there was a BABY MONITOR and it was switch ON.

I went back down and nothing was said. I thought they MUST have heard but were too polite to mention it.

I was there a couple of days later and took my DGD into the kitchen and said 'The other day when I was babysitting for M did you hear me fart over the baby monitor' She replied that no she hadn't. After a minute she hugged me and said ' Grandma, farting is a natural bodily function and if we had heard you it wouldn't have mattered, but we didn't' Bless her.

When my daughter was about 3 years old we were on line in the supermarket. She looked very untidy and I remarked that she looked like a little urchin. 'I am not a virgin ' she replied as loudly as possible.
If we must discuss farts, and why not, my GDs call them bottom burps. It seems grandparents and small children can share silly fart jokes whilst the parent sits looking a bit poe-faced . We were once have a particularly silly giggling, rather crude time of it and we were both threatened with the naughty step.

I am a martyr to flatulence and always have been. Once when out shopping with my then young son I told him I`d give him 10p (those were the days!) if he took the rap in case I accidentally let one fly. He agreed seriously to do this. As I leant down into a freezer the worst happened. Loudly. I gave him the nod and he solemnly announced loud and clear "Sorry Mum farted". Technically he had apologised but not quite in the way I had meant. I was laughing so much by then that I gave him his 10p

When my grandson who is now 17, was about 2 or 3 he used to sit on our knee and say 'I'm going to fart on you'. He lifted his bottom up and did one. I have to say that this happened anywhere even on the bus!

When my Dad heard an urgent call from upstairs saying that more paper was needed, he turned to our visitors and said 'she is writing a book'.

My darling GS calls it bum cough! Very embarrassing in public...

While making a phone call to arrange travel insurance my 4 year old GD ran in from the from the garden proclaiming loudly 'Gran, I need a pee pee!' The man on the phone obviously heard as he began to laugh. I told her to go to the toilet - don't know why but she always has to ask and be given permission before she'll go. We continued to discuss the details of our insurance and then heard her call at the top of her voice 'Come and wipe my bum, I've done a poo!' I began to quickly explain but the man said it was okay, I could deal with it and he'd wait till I got back, chuckling as he spoke

There was a queue for the loo during my aunt's 90th birthday celebrations. Her three year old great grandaughter was waiting patiently but it was becoming obvious from the smell that one of the very elderly guests in a nearby cubicle was performing a 'big one'.

When the chain was pulled we all held our breath as the door opened. There was a loud cry of congratulations from DGGD, 'Have you done a poo then???' blush

When GS1 was about 3 I took him shopping in M&S and he grabbed a massive bra and ran round the store shouting "Mummy's boobies!" Much hilarity! His poor mother is quite well endowed, but nothing like as enormous as this bra!

Lots of shouts of 'Trumpy Bum' at my ds's house, doesn't matter who's to blame!

ninathenana Sat 26-Jul-14 16:45:43

2yr old taps his rear and proudly announces to everyone 'my bum' which is said with a huge grin when he lets one go.

The most hilarious time I have ever had with the GSs was when the eldest had his first mobile phone. He was trying to produce a fart to record as his ring tone, resulting is much hilarity. I was almost rolling on the floor with them we were laughing so much! I did ,however, point out that it was not a good idea as they would keep thinking it was ringing when anyone produced a similar sound, which happens a lot in their house with 3 boys!

I diverted my two grandsons from levelling trumping accusations at all adults in the vicinity by getting them a whoopee cushion each. The novelty soon went out of it grin

At 21 months my DGS finds trumping very funny indeed. DD blames herself for laughing at him.
