So this afternoon we're driving to Ft. Williams Park, home of Portland Head Light, for a picnic with a bunch of families with kids about the same age as Rachel. I had been drinking a Coke, and as I often do when I'm drinking Coke -- mostly to aggravate my wife -- I let fly with an obnoxious belch."Excuse me!" I said.
"Excuse you!" Rachel said from the back seat.
"Daddy just burped," Sara, the more responsible parent, explained, "and when we burp we say 'Excuse me.'"
"Do you ever burp?" I asked.
There was a short pause, and then Rachel said, "Sometimes I burp on my bottom."
Yes, we call that something else... but there will be other days to explain that one.
