Halloween Fart [View all]

Found on Facebook, posted by 104.9 The Wolf:

I found a cute Halloween story about a young mother’s son by the name of Oliver who announced at dinner the other night that he wanted to be a fart for Halloween.🎃 Here’s mom explaining. She said: “l literally choked on my water. He's 6. Just sat there with spaghetti sauce on his chin, completely serious, saying "I want to be a big brown fart cloud." My husband looked at me like I was supposed to handle this. I had no idea what to say. Where do kids even get these ideas. I told him absolutely not, pick something normal, a superhero or a dinosaur or literally anything else. He got that stubborn look on his face, the one that means he's not letting this go. Started explaining very seriously that farts are funny and everyone would laugh and it would be the best costume. I was exhausted from work, my head was pounding, and I just snapped. Fine! You want to be a fart, you make it yourself. I'll help you find materials but you're doing the work. Figured he'd give up in ten minutes.

He didn't give up. Spent the next three days in our dining room with brown and tan fabric I helped him order from a craft store because apparently we needed "fart colored material" which is a phrase I never thought I'd say out loud. He watched tutorials on my phone about gathering fabric, asked me to help him tie knots but insisted on arranging every single layer himself. Got frustrated twice and almost cried but kept going. His little fingers working so carefully, tongue sticking out when he was concentrating. Yesterday he finished it. Put it on and paraded around showing his dad and his grandmother who looked absolutely horrified. I expected to feel embarrassed but instead I felt this weird pride. My kid said he wanted to be a fart, I told him to make it happen, and he actually did it.

He's been sleeping in parts of it. Already got two orders from neighbors on asking if I'll make them for their kids. I told them Oliver takes commissions now. He's charging $8 dollars per fart cloud and has never been more confident in his life.”😜

Happy Halloween! 🎃
