'you did not just blame that fart on me.'--the kids
At our house, no bake cookies have long been a staple. But when they were little you would hear little noises coming from the breakfast table the night after eating some of them, followed by a fit of giggles.
They would always blame their breakfast noises on the no bake cookies (although I'm not 100% convinced because they are ALWAYS making noises!) But they decided to rename these cookies fart cookies and the name has stuck.
Of course waaaay too many conversations at our house center around conversations about farts. My son even found an article that said farts spread the coronavirus. Quarantine was SO fun and educational at our house!
