Garrett's maxims

Garrett has been studying Benjamin Franklin in social studies over the last week. Part of their discussion at school included Ben Franklin's Common maxims, or proverbs, on the value of work and savings for success from Poor Richard's Almanac. As homework one night Garrett was to come up with a maxim of his own. He came up with one from our many walks home from school: When walking home from school, if you're still a half a mile from home and find you're very thirsty and have to use the bathroom, that's a bad combination.
This past Saturday night we came out of dinner at a restaurant and not watching where he was going, Garrett bumped his head on a column. Since he happened to hit his head on the same spot he bruised earlier that day playing tackle football with Michael, a few tears followed as we walked toward the car. Half way to the car, with tears still on his face he giggled and said, "I just farted". Hearing this I laughed at him, and then we all agreed he'd just come up with another maxim for his life: A good fart always makes you happy.
