Uncompelling Mysteries: Wild Kingdom

Q: What does a tortoise say?
A: According to my two-year-old flatmate, a tortoise says, "Haaaaaach ... ptoo!"  So I guess they have congestion.  She also authoritatively stated that the noise a pirate makes is, "Arrrrrrrrr."

Children are disgustingly cute. Their freedom is what really gets me--they feel free enough to say whatever they think and free enough to run around the neighborhood naked. I like that they haven't been poisoned by being afraid of what others think of them yet. My niece will be 3 in May and has decided that farting is the funniest thing on Earth. So I, being the refined, elegant and classy young woman that I am, have decided to buy her a fart machine for her birthday. It will come with a card that says "You're welcome, sister. No need for a thank you note." My sister is going to absolutely kill me.

Hee. That is a fantastic idea! I'm sure she (niece, probably not sister) will love it!
