You're about to what?!?

On the way home from a family dinner at the Longhorn (yeehaw!), the White Chariot of Mayhem is bustling with activity - as always.  For those of you who don't know, the WCM is my term of endearment for my van.

Anyhoot - Maddie and Bella are in the far back giggling and saying silly things, singing and goofing off, and Roman is the the middle row shrieking and growling, making random post-dinner baby sounds.  Nick and are chit-chatting and the radio is on in the background.  The car is full of noise. 

And, then it happens.  You know, that phenomenon where all of sudden all conversation stops simultaneously.  And, in a fleeting moment there is a hum of silence.  It is a split second - possibly a couple of seconds of sudden stillness which is quickly interrupted by a tiny 8-year old voice that says, "I'm....about....to....fart*."  Say wha???

Nick and I are immediately brought to silent rolling laughter.  I have to slow the car down to a near stop because the tears in my eyes from laughing are obstructing my view.  And, then, as if it couldn't get any funnier a little 3-year old voice pipes up, all Beavis and Butthead style, "fart."   "Fart!"   "FART!" 

Oh my gosh.  Thank God she didn't actually follow through, but dang!  That was some funny stuff.

*DISCLAIMER:  Yes, my kids said fart.  So do yours.  Get over it.
