Criminal flatulence on the 1-California

Here’s Muni rider Rachel’s contribution to Cute Week on Muni Diaries:

A typical packed 1-California on a Saturday … I’m standing in the aisle, turned toward a woman with her daughter sitting in her lap and her son sitting next to her. Both kids look to be 4 or 5 years old.

The mom and son are practicing the street names (“What comes after Larkin?”), when the mother suddenly looks at the girl and says, “Who stinks? Is that you who stinks?”

The little boy, squirming in his seat, says, “It was me!” His mom laughs, but tells him sternly, “Well, you need to say excuse me to all the people when you do that.” He says, “Excuse me,” and then, with a worried look on his face asks, “Will they throw me in jail?”

See? Farts can be cute.
