My mother is very proud of the German, which is kind of scary in a weird, mountain-compound, lots of firearms kind of way.Ms. Amanda Tatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917669076145107027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11201829.post-1123304139407904002005-08-05T21:55:00.000-07:002005-08-05T21:55:00.000-07:00Terror alert: Dad also showed me he bought a book...Terror alert: Dad also showed me he bought a book that is somewhat like a manual to the human body, and further informed me "This book says that humans fart up to 47 times a day. When I read that, I KNEW I had to buy it."<BR/><BR/>I just sat there with a "huh?" look until he went on to the next subject.<BR/><BR/>I had totally blocked that memory with the horror of the string until I read your comment!<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling our little blogs are going to be full of aging father stories - so painfully similar...<BR/><BR/>Do you, by chance, have any German or Irish in your family tree?ZooooMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354464002786903244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11201829.post-1123291102713585552005-08-05T18:18:00.000-07:002005-08-05T18:18:00.000-07:00O H M Y G O D . . .

Thankfully, he has no recent incisions with visible string to share, but damn, if he could, he would. He's fond of popping out his dentures like I used to pop out my retainer. Is this what we have to look forward to, as we get older? Imagine all the guy friends / brothers / brothers-in-law you have now --- 30 years from now. Will we be rolling our eyes at them when they fart, silently, and giggle with quaking shoulders and tearing eyes until the smell reaches the unsuspecting because they think it's the FUNNIEST thing in the world?<BR/><BR/>Wait, they do that now.Ms. Amanda Tatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917669076145107027noreply@blogger.com
