Not making any accusations, but this old man nap photo from 2008 seemed like a good fit for this story!

Once again I will tell a story of a fart.
One time we were at home, me and my late father. I was reading and he was having a day nap on the couch. Suddenly I heard something.
“What?” I said.
“I didn’t say anything,” says my late father, turning over. “I only farted. Imagine! You rarely hear me when I speak to you but once I fart you hear clearly. I should call you ‘He who hears farts.’”

- pwîkitoskiw – s/he farts habitually
- pwîkicipathiw – s/he farts accidentally
- pwîkitohkwâmiw – s/he farts while asleep
- pwîkitapiw – s/he farts while sitting
- pwîkitinîw – s/he holds someone so tight making her/him fart
- pwîkitiskâkow – it makes her/him fart
- pwîkiciminak – beans
- pwîkitihkwîw – fart-face (Okay, Sol made this last one up!)
