Thankflully, It's Not the Same Thing

The Girl had been wanting a mood ring for quite some time.  However, she had used all her hard earned cash (read: one third of the cash earned by doing chores and two thirds earned through birthday and Christmas gifts) to buy herself a DSi (I seriously thought I would never see the day).  Finally, she scrounged up enough to pick herself up a cheap mood necklace instead. 

Both kids sat fascinated for a few hours.  They tried to get the necklace to change colors by acting like they were in  a certain mood.   When the necklace would finally change colors in their sweaty little hands, they would run and get the decoding card that told them they were either happy, frustrated, scared, sad, or flirty.  Here's one conversation I got to listen in on:

d: Oh!  Look!  Quick!  I got it to change colors!  Now it's like blue-ish green. 
p: What does that mean?
d: Get the card so we can figure it out.
p: OH!  It means your farty.
d: What?
p: It says you're farty.
d: Dude!  That's not an option.
p: Yup, right here is says, "Blue-green equals farty."
d: Dude!  That's FLIRTY.  Not farty.  A mood ring can't tell you if you have gas.

Laughter ensued.
