Quiz

Question: What do you do when your two-year old child farts louder than you thought humanly possible in the middle of church? (Keep in mind that you are sitting on hard chairs that enhance the sound, you are sitting in the gym that makes everything echo because you were late, and all kids for at least the next 3 rows up turn around to see who did it.)

Answers:

A. Stare straight ahead, stone faced, as though you heard nothing.

B. Start laughing even more uncontrollably than all the kids for at least the next 3 rows up.

C. Calmly pick your child up, slowly walk out of church, and never come back again.

D. Try to outdo her.

We opted for B. I think we got that one right.

Funny! When Anne was little we had gone to a friend's home for a barbeque. There were about 20 people there. During the blessing, Anne "tooted" for a VERY long time. The person blessing the food had a hard time finishing the blessing! We all laughed, and have not let her live it down.

That's halarious!! If only we could all be cute kids and get away with farting infront at others.

The little 2 year-old girl named Lovis I met in Germany did a funny thing when she farted loudly at the dinner table. She was sitting on her mom's lap and she let one rip. She immediately looked up at her mom and said "MAMA!" It was so funny. At least Erica didn't try to blame it on you guys...

kids do the darndest things! About a month a go Lovi, in the middle of church, said 'shut up, shut up' to no one in particular...

I was hoping for choice E:

Turn around and say to the sweet, old Relief Society sister, "Come on! That's gross!"

Yup, I think B was the right choice. So funny!

Shame on you, Troy for blaming your fart on Erica. That's low.

Man, why weren't we sitting behind you this week! That is so funny.

hahahahaaha! I choose B also. Last time Rai farted loudly in church we were also in the back. We cracked up.

That is hilarious! I'm sure I would be laughing pretty hard, too. I can never keep a straight face when my kids do things like that. Cooper will fart and then point at his bum and say "That's stinky." Luckily not in church yet!

when our oldest was about 2, she let one rip during the sacrament.. of course the quiet time in church.. but what was worse, in a very loud voice she said... "mom, I farted".... like no one heard her anyway.... the whole ward got a good laugh at that one... fun stories to tell on them later..

I think you made the right choice too. That is sooooo funny. Way to go Erica. I'm sure I will have my day.
