1b) From the mouths of babes
This weekend I visited my extended family for a long-overdue Christmas present exchange. At one point my wee cousin Evan had a secret to tell me. It makes sense we have secrets- after all, him and I are the only members of the Cheese Club, a group he invented for the avid dairy enthusiast (by-law: eat cheese always.) So it stands to reason there might be secrets for us to share. This wasn't about cheese, though:
"Jesse when I was in my mom's stomach (aka womb,) I turned from a solid into a gas and escaped into the world. Everyone just thinks I was born on my birthday, I actually came out much earlier."
I asked his mom if he's studying solids, liquids and gases and she said, "Yes, but not in school." Profound shit for a five-year-old.

my response: so, let me get this straight, you started out as a fart?
i bet this would have brought him back into his five year old world and got quite a giggle.
It seems very appropriate that this child should have started the Cheese Club, seeing as cheese can be both a solid or a liquid, and ALMOST gas-like (think cheese in a can/spray-bottle thing).
a- a giggle and a fart.
m- your glasses are slipping off your nose.
