Fart, toot, break wind or pass gas

My mother thinks "fart" is a very vulgar word, and refers to them as "winders" (as in "break wind").

Whatever you call it, it's still pretty funny to hear my kid say "I fighted, Mommy." (He can't say his "r"s). He finds farts amusing, but not rip-roaringly so (pun intended). Just enough for a snicker or a smile, most times.

I always tell him I hear a duck, as I think farts and ducks can sound a bit alike (work with me, here). He says, sternly, "That was not a duck, Mommy, that was a fight."

Guess he told me.

And yes, I am eight, because I still find farts funny, as long as I don't have to smell them.

Don't get me started on Dutch ovens.
