Remember this post?

As I mentioned, I've adopted the word 'fartsome' because I think it's just brilliant.  Today, Laurel and I had a conversation that went something like this:

Me:  (singing) "Ohhhhh, Laurel's fartsome, she's fartsome, she's fartsome all the way..."

Laurel:  "Why do you say I'm fartsome?"

Me:  "Because you are."

Laurel:  "You're more fartsome than I am."

Me:  "Your fartsomeness knows no bounds."

Laurel:  "Your fartsomeness goes on forever, whereas my fartsomeness stops at 2."

Me:  (stunned silence, because a) she's 7 and used 'whereas' correctly, and b) she clearly won -- she obviously knows the different levels of fartsomeness, and I remain ignorant)

As you can see, I love having nonsensical conversations with kids.  Sometimes you learn more about them that way.
