he is 11 and he is actually considering burying them so people will dig them up and smeel em. he thinks its funny

Answer 1

Haha...most of the people who try to joke on here are just stupid, but this really made me laugh. Got any other good ones?

Answer 2

Heya, It may not be considered normal, but hey skrew anybody, and i mean it who puts you down or moks you for it. There's genuinely nothing wrong with it, it just might seem a little strange to some people but hey the point is you are not harming anyone and yu shouldn't feel stupid for it, just do what you want as long as it's making you happy. Obviously if people were to hear you tell them they would naturally be more creeped out than if they were to hear that someone else did this or that you did this without them telling you as it would probably scare them a little if they were to hear that you were that comfortable with telling people but taht's not to say you have a problem. In terms of passing gas, people often like to smell the, they tell you a lot about your body and your health that we have learnt to recognize from a young age and subconsciously pick up a lot from, aside from that they also probably smell like food right, so it might be a good idea to stock your room up with food snacks as you may also be craving food :) Keep a wide range available to satisfy any cravings. If this is actually genuine i'd say now he's had some time to cool off you should probably speak to him and make him feel a little more comfortable whilst being yourself, plan parts of the conversation and try to understand where he's coming from first and before hand so you can make him feel more comfortable.

Answer 3

The smell will not stay in a jar. Ask him to open just one that has been there for a few days and he'll find out he's wasting his time. I would save a few, though, to give him as a Christmas or wedding gift later on in his life. What fun!

Answer 4

I'm going to have to agree with Matters1345 about the saving a few jars as wedding gifts down the road. That's absolutely priceless!

Answer 5

If you want to stop this practice, take one of his fart jars and tell him you want to do a sampling for quality control. Open a fart jar real fast and you both take a sniff. When all you smell is pickles it might prove the pointlessness of his endeavor and discourage him from producing more fart jars or perhaps motivate him to invent a more satisfactory way to bottle farts.

Answer 6

LOL ,unusual yes, I wonder why he does it, I'm also curious as to his technique because being the jar full of air he has to displace it and be able to cap and seal it keeping the fart in. Contrary to worring why dont you provide him some means to investigate and find answers. You may have a scientist embrion.

Answer 7

Don't worry, it's perfectly normal. He's still at the age where he's probably making bathroom jokes, and laughs hysterically when learning about the reproductive system. Totally normal. He might be doing it because of his friends at school might be influencing him. If you have guests over, let him know that it's innapropriate and rude to do so in front of people.

Congratulations! You've got a very curious child on your hands, who just loves to be a clown. Be greatful, at least he's happy.

Answer 8

Thats so funny, Id let him keep farting in jars, he'll eventually outgrow it and then hell look back and realize how silly it was. Let him be a kid. Besides youll have something to tease him about later on when hes an adult.

Answer 9

i believe your child is suffering from a bad case of emo you should see a doctor or pharamicist and smash all the jars as your child sleeps in a emo position which usually takes place under a rock

(remember to do this outside because i dont think you want your house smelling like farts)

Answer 10

Man, he sure sounds to me like a typical eleven year old boy. If it bothers you, maybe you ought to get him into collecting something else? When I was that age, I used to collect Clearly Canadian bottles full of coloured water, and line them up on my windowsill so the light would shine through them.

Kids' collections are kind of weird to us, but pretty cool to them.
