Ahh, childhood...so many stories.
A friend of my moms (still friends) use to tell me and my brother not to fart around cigarettes or a match cause our butts would 'blow off'. I wasn't afraid of something that never happened so on that same day we went to pick up my mom from work, I leaned to the front seat and asked.
"Mommy, if I put a match to my butt and fart...will it blow up?"
There was a pause, my mom looked at her friend and her friend looked like a frog holding in air, then BOOOOM!! Burst of laughter and I knew that the woman friend was lying the whole time.
