Ugh. The daring, dastardly little girl in me recently set off a stinkbomb down a damwabbit hole. (or maybe just a woodchuck.) It was those kind that poof up & then explode. Short while later my son was bouncing on the trampoline, said "something stinks!". Not sure it ever reached the damwabbit though. 3rd grade entertainment, o how I've missed it. |
