Don’t hate me ‘cuz I’m white trash. I admit, I can’t help but crack up every time I hear this darned thing. What is it about the dreaded fart that makes one double over with laughter? Especially because the fart machine produces no smell… only sounds 🙂
Chris came home with this the other day from work, someone, who knows why, actually left this remote-controlled gem at work when they relocated. And, for some crazy reason, he thought we might get a kick out of it. Man, have we ever. All the kids have enjoyed their respective turns with it. Jude loves to put it down his shorts and then turns to put his rear in Isabelle’s face. Isabelle loves to carry it around and then sniffs it to be sure it’s not a real fart escaping. Sophie, our shy girl, gets this pinched grin on her face, not quite laughing out loud, but giggling as quietly as she can manage. Dalton, Asher and Zach LOVE this thing, each of them planning an opportunity to try it out in public. NOT gonna happen. Shepherd, as you can see from the video, enjoys it also, and he even knows where those sounds usually emerge from 😉 I couldn’t resist posting this video of him smiling and laughing… he’s such a sweet boy. Hope he doesn’t hate me for this someday…
Oh, how that machine would be loved at our house. We usually resort to blowing on our arms!
That’s almost as bad as the Insultinator! Yes, an electronic device that hurls potty-mouth junior high level insults based upon the button you push. Three choices of adjectives and one button for nouns. Charming! Someone donated it to our yard sale and believe you me, I had to be SUPER vigilant to be sure it did NOT end up staying at the end of the weekend 🙂
Too cute – I guess farts know no cultural boundaries 🙂 Like that Sesame Street song, “everybody farts.” 🙂
Oh, yeah. We got our girl 🙂 You gotta see her eyes. And her cheeks! And read what God has done these past four days. Thanks for your prayers 🙂
Oh, I think we would ALL love it here 🙂 My hubby brought home (from work!) fake dog poop. Oh, how the kids LOVED it. It was on the couch, on a plate at dinner, every where. Loads of fun, I tell ya.
Oh I want one of those for my husband’s birthday! Too funny.
LOL we have one of those. The boys used to put it under the cushion my mom was sitting on LOL Poor grandma LOL
Hi Stef –
This made me laugh out loud. Rob and I always kid one another about how this dissolves us into childish hysterics.
We were in church one Sunday this spring and Hannah fluffied (that’s what we call it at our house:) and both of us could not contain ourselves. Emily tried to hold it in and not laugh, but alas she sucumbed and there we were dead silence,and the three of us completely out of control.
Not proud of it, but it is what it is:)
Thanks for sharing, his smile is priceless – makes my whole day!

Oh, Stef,
My Mother-in-law introduced us to this lovely device. My husband immediately purchased one for himself.
He has used it on EVERYONE including my grandmother. He thinks it’s hilarious- except the kids are ratting him out now- saying, “That’s just daddy’s fart machine”.
Did you know if you turn the dial on the back you can make it louder?
Be careful though, signals in the air can make it go off by itself. My old cordless phone used to make it go off- I would be talking on the phone for WORK with a client and if I happened to walk within a certain range of the machine, it would start making the noises non-stop. It would also start farting in the middle of the night on occasion- it was loud enough that it would wake me up across the house! After that, I had a rule that hubby had to remove the battery at all times when he wasn’t using it.
I have threatened to throw that thing away many times. 🙂
Stef, I’m shocked!!! That you would stoop to my…er…this level. lol
Shepherd’s face is priceless! I gotta get ME one of those machines!
I am going to have to watch the video later, cause I am in a public place catching up on this blog via wi-fi, and all be darned if I want to get blamed for it. Don’t think anyone around here would buy, “It’s the computer, really!”
Crackin up out loud about Isabelle smelling it to make sure a real one didn’t escape, and Jude putting it down his pants and bending over… sorry, but that is funny stuff. Now that is genius! 😉
Wish I was there gettin in on the fun!
hugs!
🙂
Amie
We own three of those! Do you have an extra spot next to you in the trailer park!!!!!!!

I am giggling over here- that is hysterical…

Well, I'm from down south too (Texas) and we get a kick out of the same thing. Here is a video I have of my toddler with the machine as well. 🙂

Gosh! Why is this so funny????
My 4 yr. old called it Popping the first time she figured out she was making some noise back there.LOL
The other dd heard the noise for the first time on the potty and exclaimed “oh! snakes”. She will never live it down.
