Just throwing in a fart sound, to me, is a cheap way to get laughs, but the idea of calling someone a "fart gatherer" is creative and funny! Plus, now as I anticipate going into labor any day now/reading lots of books and advice on it, many childbirth experts are upset that our culture refuses to acknowledge some of these bodily functions, because it ends up creating fear in women who have no idea what to expect or what our bodies are really capable of, because images and discussion of giving birth are so taboo. I think this whole experience is changing my opinions on what I think is "appropriate" to expose children to...the way our bodies work, from processing food to creating new life, is beautiful and wonderful and not shameful.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097525403940409218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770811529718101789.post-78953785826565032892017-02-20T15:11:27.128-08:002017-02-20T15:11:27.128-08:00Well, they do say that every girl wants a fairy ta...Well, they do say that every girl wants a fairy tale life.
