“Mom, I need to warn you. When you come to my school, DO NOT snuggle up to the giant teddy bear in Mrs. B’s class. I don’t care how cute you think he is, whatever you do, don’t go near him…he’s filled with 4th grade farts.”
I’m thankful that someone’s looking out for me. I wish I could say the same for the bear.
“So you think I should try tomato juice? Damn those little 4th graders. They’re animals!”

Wow, that’s some heads up advice there! To think you could have snuggled up to that little bear and been over come with stale methane gas! You own your son! He saved your life!

I know, he’s a pretty considerate kid except for when he pees all over the seat!
By the way, I hate this new blue WordPress dashboard. I can’t figure it out. I have to keep back clicking until I arrive at the old one. 😦

That’s hilarious and so true!!!! I don’t think that even tomato juice can combat that stink.

I’m thinking it might be a good idea to replace the body wash in my boy’s bathroom with a can of tomato juice.

Apparently, this has been going on for years because my 6th grader confirmed the story. Poor bear!

I don’t even want to know how a stuffed bear gets “filled up” with 4th grade farts…

Maybe it’s some sort of weird 4th grade initiation.
“Hey kid! You better fart on that bear or you’re getting sent back to 3rd grade…and make it snappy, shorty!”

I have a fourth-grader and sadly this all makes sense to me.

They’re so small, yet so smelly. It makes me fear the smells that are in our future.

Rate your smelliness on a scale of 1-10.

Maybe I should put a bear in my classroom to soak up some of the unpleasant odors. (I promise I am not the originator of the unpleasant odors.)

Maybe you should borrow your daughter’s nose clips to wear in your classroom.

Maybe they should get a Grizzly Bear instead.

Good idea. That will teach them a lesson.

Search the Internet for “Bubble Gund”, from the makers of the bears of the same name. It’ll get most rank odours (and other obnoxious things) out of your favourite stuffy, while giving him that “new bear” look and smell!
You know, I REALLY should be embarrassed that I know that….. 😀

How do you know that! I’ve never heard of the stuff. Does it work on kids who hate to bathe?

Well, let’s just say that I’m worldly-wise. And that my wife has a large collection of Gund “Snuffle” stuffed bears. Not sure if it’s cleared for human use, through. You might want to try soaking the kid in gasoline – it doesn’t necessarily clean the kid, but it gives him a GREAT incentive to bathe!
