Little girl draws birthday card with some seriously imaginative farting

PAF.

Turns out author Lev Grossman has an extremely imaginative daughter.

Grossman shared a birthday card Thursday that his daughter drew for her nanny. The card features a girl smelling a flower, with a cat nearby, but there's a twist.

"It's a girl smelling a flower. She is farting. A cat is also farting. Also, the flower is farting," Gossman wrote on Twitter.

Around each fart there is a beautiful use of the onomatopoeia "PAF" included in the fart cloud. While there are many kinds of farts, we again applaud her originality using the sound "PAF" to describe a fart. Brilliant.

Look a little closer and you'll notice that the stick figure has a pretty huge butt, for farting of course, as does the cat.

Grossman has previously tweeted about his daughters, and honestly they sound kinda awesome.
