So I am driving in the car with the kids today, and Ben is talking up a storm (as usual). Then there's a brief, uncommon pause, and:
Benjamin : I smell a poopy diaper!
Daddy : Penelope, do you have a poop?
Penelope : No.
Benjamin : I can smell it!
Daddy : Penelope, are you sure? Do you have a poopy diaper?
Penelope : No! No poopy! I don't have poopy diaper!
There's a pause, while I sample the air in the car.
Daddy : Ben, I don't smell anything. Are you sure its poop? Are you smelling something else maybe? Did someone pass gas?
Benjamin : Well....
... and then I can hear Ben making an odd noise.. it sounds like he's hyperventilating, and I am not sure what's wrong. I glance back for a second to see that he's really breathing weird.. out through his mouth, in through his nose, really rapidly.
Daddy : Ben, are you ok?
Benjamin : Yeah. Its not poopy. Its my stinky breath.
Daddy : Oh. Ok. Good. (Good?)
Benjamin : Yeah... sometimes when I play Wii it makes my breath stinky.
Video games get blamed for a lot of things, but I think this is a first.
