Woof Woof

Heather over at Mindless Junque is talking flatulence today. It reminded me of an Essie story so I had to share...

In our house we call farts, "Barking Spiders".

The other night Essie was having a bit of an... intestinal issue (and while we're on the topic can someone please tell me why all 3 of us have experienced increased Spider Barking since moving to North Carolina???) At any rate, her spiders were barking and I was kind of laughing (don't worry, she was too) and finally she looks at me and says "I think these spiders need a muzzle"

THAT is funny :)

And I'm happy to know that happens in other houses too.

At our house, when your feet are stinky, we say "Those dogs are barking".

I'm liking the spider barking.

Do they sell spider muzzles at Walgreens? Right next to the Beano?

That's cute! My husband calls them barking spiders too. Everytime he's particularly .. barky? I tell him I'm calling the exterminator, cause the spiders are just out of control ;o)

My husband uses the term, "barking spiders" too - wonder where that came from?

LMAO!!

I thought we were the only ones ... I mean, it's not like you really talk about that kind of thing. But in our house they're California Barking Spiders. No idea why.

Yes, I've been lurking...your blog is always fun to read. Glad you found our ministry blog. Things are okay with us. I'm starting about using the Xanga blog again just because there are things I can't really share on the public one. My sister is going through cancer/chemo and it's an interesting time. We have a head-shaving party scheduled tonight. Thought of you the other day, I'm supposed to get to go see Amy Grant in concert next Friday night. Have a great day!

My husband may be the only man on earth that is truly embarassed when he "passes gas".He trys to act like even he didn't hear it, but spouted the "barking spiders" when I shot a glance at him. It was the first time I'd heard that expression.Heck, I thought he made it up! HA HA
