So my six year old boy who is in first grade has become a master of the armpit fart. He's so good he's starting to play it like some kind of dysfunctional trumpet. Anyway, he's a huge fan of the show Phineas and Ferb and wants to perform the song in his school talent show. If you know the theme song there's a part that goes 'boom-chicka-bow-wow' or something like that. He wants to perform the song where that part cuts out and is replaced by the sound of his armpit farts.
Personally I think the idea is hilarious and I'm ready to send in the sign up sheet for him. He's aware that it's in front of the whole school and still thinks it will be fun. So before I send him off to go conquer the world one armpit fart at a time, I need to get some other parent opinions. Do you guys see any problem with this? Could he get in trouble for it? |

My sister in law is 10, and she lives with us, so I have some insight on the matter: Let your kid be weird. Laila walked around the grocery store with a fake mustache and another fake mustache connecting her eyebrows.

If they say no, then the onus is off of you. ("Sorry son. I'd have let you do it, but the school said 'No'.") And if they say it's okay, then let him do it. But I'd probably ask him again if he really wants to do it.

|  | That's the way uh huh uh huh I like it.. | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Robbinsville, NJ | | | Well...considering my oldest son went to school one time dressed as Gandhi, I say let him do it! The only foreseeable problem that I can think of, is if there's that one prude (every school has one) who will decide to be offended instead of laughing and enjoying it like everyone else.

No reason to blow the kid's self esteem at six because some humorless school official gets in his face over this. As far as being rebellious, he'll have plenty of time to do that later. It's easy to say 'stick it to the man', but you're the man for next few years.
I think it's fine, but ultimately he'll be the one paying the price, so it couldn't hurt to check.
