Fartsy Claus

This is the book Kade picked out at library today in school. I really do try to teach my boys about manners and I really don't like them to talk about farts and stuff - but I was laughing so much through the whole book that I'm sure anything I was trying to teach them is now destroyed! Here are a few excerpts from the book.

When he was full, he rushed to his sleigh, jumped into his seat, and went up and away. At each house, Santa's belly began to smart, so he rubbed it, only to let out a fart. The reindeer eyed each other, feeling queasy and funky, thinking, "He smells like a dirty old monkey."

Up in his room, Michael opened one eye. "What the heck? Is sounds like the fourth of July."

As the story goes on the reindeer have all passed out from the smell of the gas and so the children have to help Santa figure out a way to get all the toys delivered. They construct a pair of underpants that will use his farts to propel him from house to house so he can deliver the toys.

Needless to say - Kade LOVED the book and was so proud of himself for picking it out.

How funny! It's a mystery to me how every kid on the planet goes through a phase where they think bodily functions are hilarious. ???

Zain squats down in the tub and really tries to get some gas out - I think we are headed for Fartsy Clause sooner than I had hopes for . . .

This is laugh outloud funny! I'm so glad my kids haven't discovered this book, yet. They would quote it for sure.

I think that might be the one book I could actually write. My kids would love that book and would have a hard time taking it back to the library.

just came across your blog, that book sounds something Benjamin would enjoy, He might have had a little to much influence on cade since Ben is always making farting sounds.
