Lego Building Brilliance

The babe: "Do you know why he is called Captain Fart?"

He is pointing to his Lego creation with a little Lego man perched at the front of the plane.

Me (most definitely disgusted. How many times do I have to tell them to say TOOT?): "I have NO idea."

There is this VERY long explanation about the Captain getting on the plane, the plane almost crashing, how the Captain saves the plane, and screams of "Mayday, Mayday".

FIVE minutes later...

The babe: "When he got on the plane, they didn't have any gas, so they borrowed it from the Captain."

Coming from a four-year-old, I'm thinking we're cooking with gas* in the old brain department. At least one of my kids has semi-cornered the logic market.

Well, maybe this can be his dissertation: "Converting Human Methane into Plane-Powering Jet Fuel". Coupled with cow emissions, maybe there's future hope of America discontinuing support of all the Arabian sheiks.

Or, maybe, the super-hero CAPTAIN FART has just been discovered**.....
