We were having a nice family dinner tonight with chopped beef made from the brisket the guys smoked while at the ranch, ranch style beans and peas & carrots. Ashley and Daniel were giving us trouble eating the ranch style beans, but wolfing everything else (including the pickles). Brian, being the Daddy he is, decided to make an appeal they just couldn't refuse. It began with the virtues of beans (lot of protein, etc), then he asked them if they knew what happened when the beans made it past your stomach, what it caused....GAS. (Oh, yes, he went there!) And how does gas get out of your out of your body???? Ashley guessed it right off the bat - Toots! (yes, that's what we call it in our house). Yeah! I've been fighting potty talk for years and now Brian is welcoming it at the table.
So after the kids ate all their beans (and Ashley had seconds!), Daniel was in the shower trying to toot on Laurie, making the sounds with his mouth and laughing. The best part was putting Laurie to bed. So, Brian and I are climbing the stairs behind her, she sees Daddy, moves her bottom in his face and says "TOOT!" Then laughs at us. HELP! He has created monsters. Its going to be a long day if the beans actually kick in and I'm stuck listening to them make noises all day.
Of course, Brian loves it! He is very proud of himself.

And next they'll be watching the infamous Beans & 'toot' scene in Blazing Saddles. Too funny.
