What do you say?!!??

Today was Calvin's "mommy day." The plan had been to go swimming, but we awoke to very gray skies and rain started falling before we got his brothers off to camp.

So, instead, we hit breakfast at Good Day Cafe to start things off. Midway through the meal, Calvin dutifully informed me he needed to go to the bathroom. Off we went to the restroom, a small, 3-stall affair that is very quiet. As any of you who have 3 year-olds out there (or remember having them), this can take quite a bit of time, especially in a new and exciting environment. We were in the stall for a bit, and many others came through the others in the time we were in ours.

Well, just as Calvin is really getting ready to get things done, the only other person in the bathroom sits down and .... well, how to put this... lets out a HUGE, prolonged fart.

Calvin gets a look of absolute wonder on his face and says "WHAT WAS *THAT*?" What do you say??? The room is completely silent. So Calvin says again, "Momma! What was THAT?!?" By this time I am trying not to laugh loud enough for this other person to hear me.

I finally was able to mumble something about someone else 'going potty,' and then continued the ensuing 12 minutes it takes to get this boy done with his business, wash the hands, dry the hands, and leave.

The lady just stayed in her stall.
