It's every parent's dream to have super-talented kids. Just look at Justin Bieber. I wish I was his mom. That way, my retirement would be funded.
However, instead of raising a Bieber or a Kardashian, my little boy, Miles has been showing off his most recent talent.
Arm pit farting.
Yep, out of all things Miles has learned this year at school, the most memorable is arm pit farting. He learned it from a friend and since then has not been able to stop. We hear arm pit farts while watching the news (followed by a giggle). We hear it in the car. He lets one rip while playing computer games. Heck, I swear I even heard it in my sleep. Perhaps that was just a bad dream or the dog. Who knows.
I asked Miles about his new talent. He was all the more willing to discuss it and share his secrets with the world. He says that to make the perfect arm pit fart, you have to practice. I'm sure that goes with almost anything you want to learn ... cooking, writing, picking your nose. Practice makes perfect. Currently, he's working on the correct cupping of his hand in the arm pit to produce the perfect fart sound. He practices this technique from the time he comes home from school to right before bedtime.
In some ways, he reminds me of a young Derek Jeter, who spent hours as a kid playing baseball and perfecting his game. This dedication Miles has to arm pit farting might just be his ticket to fame, fortune, and super models. Is there a World Series of Arm Pit Farting? I wonder...
As a mother, I want to nurture my kids' talents and encourage them to succeed. If Miles's biggest talent is arm pit farting, then I need to do all I can and support his dreams and aspirations. I certainly don't want to stand in his way of becoming a world class arm pit farter.
He's quite good.
But is he good enough?
Only time will tell.
