As a parent, I’ve learned that something about the word fart seems to create a joy amongst little boys that is both astonishing and alarming.  I’ve pretty much given up trying to erase the word from the twins’ vocabulary. So, I decided to classify the word as something we only say at home - and never in public. Even with this compromise, I’m constantly listening for the word so that I can gently remind them that fart is an “only at-home” word. Given the attention I’ve had to focus on the word fart, I guess it really shouldn’t surprise me that I read the title of this board game as “Fart or Crap” the first time I saw it. If only my dissertation committee could see me now.
