The Boss drags me to his toy area to play trucks, then leaves me and runs off to the kitchen. This behavior isn't that unusual for him. He has a tendency to move me places and then go off somewhere else. This time though, he returns, bringing with him a toy train and a definite stink.
"Hey, did you poop?"
He avoids eye contact and shakes his head, settling down beside me with his train. "Choo Choo!"
"Uh huh, that's a choo-choo. Good." I nod and lean closer to him, touching his diaper for a peek, but he stops me.
"No," he says, swatting my hand away and shaking his head. "I fart."
Nine times out of ten, he answers a question by repeating the question - to the point that my husband and I have questioned whether or not he's even listening. Apparently, he is. And apparently, when he does answer the question, he's lying.
Because that was not a pleasant diaper to change.

Hope he is always a bad liar.
Poor little guy has learned shame, huh?
I love that one.
At least he's not blaming the "fart" on someone else yet, eh?

Oh, I don't think it was shame, just an inconvenience. He finds the whole diaper changing thing to be such a drag - cuts out of his valuable Choo Choo time.
And you're right, Dillyweed, I'm thankful for that. Thanks to his father (who occasionally slides into frat-like manners) The Boss is quite proud of his gas.
AH HA HA HA!
Sorry. I just had that mental picture of him saying
"I fart." sternly.
Haha - actually he is pretty deadpan about it. And, he still pronounces a lot of words with the letter 'd' - so it was more of an "I dart."
