The Darndest Things

I should save this for a rainy day, but I can’t.  I just can’t.  This is a true story.  Dys will back me up.

On Sunday, I was trying to make lunch for the crew.  I asked my son if he wanted a PBJ.  He responded by blowing a raspberry on his forearm.

“Well, do you want one or not?”

He did it again.

“Son, is that a yes or a no?”

“Aw, dad, I was speaking Far-talian!”

  3. I guess it was been a while since you were fluent in that dialect, huh?

    Let’s say my phonetics are better than my comprehension.

  4. Far-talian? Is this a real language? Real as in real like pig latin or wookie or klingon? Kids are straight up hilarious!

    I don’t know; I suppose you could fart (or raspberry) in Morse or something and make it into a language. I kinda think of it as an inflective language like Chinese, in which the inflection of a word changes its meaning.

  5. He he!!!I believe my four year old is developing a strong affinity with this language too…

    It probably could serve as a universal language amongst preschools and elementary schools the world over.

  6. I speak fluent Fartalian. I just use a dialect from a lower region.

    He shoots, he scores! :D

  7. boundandgags: classic!

    Hell yeah.

  8. Was that fartalian for yes or no then. I might need to know that someday.

    He translated it to a “yes.”
