Out of the mouths of children....

When my son was about 5 years old a regular Saturday morning thing was for he and I to go our rather small local library.

On one occassion whilst he was browsing which books he wanted he suddenly broke wind rather loudly.

The rather grim faced librarians head swivelled towards the offending child, he sensed her gaze and said...

'Oops sorry, just trod on a duck, my daddy says and does that all the time you know'

Father and son hastily chose books and left.

He is 19 now and we still laugh about it.
