Role Confusion

From time to time, I have an unfortunate tendency to forget that I'm a mom and not a big sister.  In those regrettable moments, I teach my kids things that maybe a mom shouldn't.  Like this one time, not too long ago, when I thought it appropriate to teach Owen a classic childhood rhyme while he ate a bowl of beans...

Fast forward two weeks, sitting in a stuffy cafe among lunching ladies, already embarrassed by the chaos ensuing at our table, and Owen loudly and proudly recalls the punchline for all to hear:

"THE MORE YOU EAT, THE MORE YOU FART!!!!"

Oh dear.
