A case of mistaken identity.

Farts are funny. Especially when you are not the guilty party.

Magnus has inherited the particular genetic trait to be able to fart at will. Loudly. I’m not going to point any fingers, but I’ll just say that he didn’t get it from my part of the family.

One day in last week, we were sitting in the bedroom. I was reading a story to Marco and Magnus was nursing. We were expecting Dirk home from work any minute.

Magnus emitted a fart so loud that all of us – including him – jumped. For a second I feared that he would be propelled into outer space with the force of it. Marco frowned at his brother in complete disbelief. Then the frown cleared and excitement replaced it. He jumped off the bed and ran to the door.

“Dad must be home!” he shouted.

PS. Sorry Dirk, but this was too funny not to share..
