Kids Say the Darndest Things

Bill Cosby had it quite right. The things that come out of my son's mouth are sometimes so funny I have to immediately call someone and share. He's a smart little guy and has his own definitions for things. Someday we'll publish the Owen English Dictionary. But here's the latest. Lying in bed cuddling him during bedtime one night, Owen coughed and passed gas at the same time. I stifled my laugh and asked if he'd passed gas. "No, that wasn't a pass gas. A pass gas goes pfffffff. That was a poot! And if you poot very hard and very loud, then it's a fart." There was no more containing my laughter at that point. I was so happy to have been schooled in the language of Owen.
