7yo: “Mom, have you ever farted in an important meeting?”
Me: “Yes. Have you?”
7yo: “No. I haven’t had any important meetings.”
Me: “Isn’t school an important meeting?”
7yo: “Oh. Then I have farted during an important meeting.”

It’s funny how all kids are amused by the same things. Whenever someone farts, the “it wasn’t me” game ensues.
“[X] denied it, so she supplied it!” and “he who smellt it dealt it,” were popular back in my time. Nowadays the kids shriek “[X] rhymed it, she crimed it” and “he who blames it claims it!”
Different words, same thing. So much has changed since we were young; so little has changed too.
