How embarrassing....

Standing in the grocery aisle today, Finny in the trolley, and me bending down looking at something on the bottom shelf when all of a sudden he says, "Ohhh what's that smell?", I just ignore him and keep on looking, because I can't smell anything, when he says,  as loud as all get out, "Did you fart mum?", I shoot him a glare and turn back to the aisle, when he persists in asking,  "What's that smell?, Oh yuk,  Mum, Mum, did you fart mum?",  louder than before because I was trying to ignore him. When I surface up to the trolley I can see three people all standing there, trying not to look in our direction, and pretending they can't hear him!.  The funny thing is,  I had spent the whole morning trying to teach him that he doesn't need to talk so loud to me, that I am always so close to him that he can talk a bit softer and I will still hear him, but everyone else won't have to!.  And he had been trying really hard to be a little more quiet....obviously though,  the need to find out who's farted is a question that needs volume!.  I must say though, that because he can't pronounce many consonants, Fart actually sounds like Hart.  But they still knew what he was saying!.  By the way, it wasn't me.........!! no , truly....

What a character!
