She's quirky, that one

Juju: Mom, did you fart?

Me: No.

Juju: (laughing maniacally) I did!

Me: Gross!

Juju: It smells like tacos! (laughs so hard she falls off the bed)

A few days before:

Juju: (sinister sounding laugh) Mom? Did you see me fart?

Me: Yes, I saw you.

Juju: Farts! Aren't they beautiful?
