Folks,

So...number of people who I actually tricked with my little April Fool's Day ruse: 0 number who wrote to tell me how lame I am: 8. I guess I lose.

In other news, this morning on the T I was standing next to a little boy who was about 5. He was very cute. About half way through the ride he let go with the nastiest rip I've ever heard a child produce. I mean, this was shake the train windows loud. His mother was soooooo pissed, but the kid was just sitting there trying not to laugh. I, of course, being an adult immediately burst into uncontrollable giggles, which made the mother transfer her anger right on to me. She didn't say anything, but she gave me the glare of all glares. Once she turned away I gave the kid a wink and we shared another little silent chuckle.

My point? Farts are funny. Why deny it? A little kid farting today is more funny to me than it was when I was five and people, it was funny when I was five. There are so few moments in life that are just funny, not weighed down by the seriousness of the everyday grind, that I've vowed to try and enjoy them.

So get out there and laugh at some farts. And lady, lighten up already.
