Let One Rip!

"Let one rip!" is a common phrase I hear from Spencer lately. In German it sounds like this: "Papa, ich lass jetzt eins fahren!" - "Dad, I'm going to let one rip." After Spencer says this he passes gas (to use a more polite term). His action is the only thing that told me what in the world he was talking about.

Now, as a missionary serving in Germany for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this was a phrase I just never learned. As a college student with a major in German I also did not have the opportunity to learn such phrases.

But, as a dad raising children in Germany, I have now been blessed to expand my vocabulary to include such choice phrases. I can't wait for the next one.
