Pooping Versus Farting (This post is NOT graphic)

On our way out to the car yesterday, I smell stink coming from Bea. I'm about to take them to daycare, and well, I would feel guilty if I dropped her off with a messy dipe for them to clean up first thing. It's just wrong. I needed to investigate the situation at hand. This is what happened:

"Bea, did you poop?"

"No."

"I smell poop. Did you poop?"

"No."

Sniff test instills.

"Hmmm. Maybe you just farted. Did you fart?"

"Yeah."

"Do you even know what fart means?"

"Yeah."

"Did you really fart?"

"Yeah."

"Seriously, I think you pooped. Did you poop?"

"NO!"

She belted out that "NO" like I couldn't believe. So adamant about not pooping, but instead just farted it up. Seriously, though, I should have called it "tooting" or something more public-friendly. I'm cringing at the thought of her yelling loudly in public someday stating "I FARTED!"

Oh, and for the record, she did only fart.
