For Your Favorite Weirdos #1

It’s getting closer and closer to Christmas Shopping Time. Well, unless you’re like me and have already started. Because apparently I enjoy being stressed out months before everyone else. Which means it’s time for me to start sharing weird, unusual, ridiculous, and downright silly gifts to add to your lists for all your favorite people. So, here we go with **Number One on the 2026 Gift List.** **Baby Shart Book and Toy Set.** Most of us who have spent any amount of time around children over the last ten years are probably very familiar with the song “Baby Shark.” Well, this is a slightly different take on it. And by “different,” I mean there are sharks involved, there’s a book involved, and somebody apparently decided that what this whole situation really needed was farting. Is it fun? Maybe. Is it silly? Absolutely. Is there really a difference when you’re dealing with children? I’ll let you decide. Books are great for kids, and books that incorporate toys can grab their attention even more and make reading a little more exciting. Kids also love farts. I don’t make the rules. The shark plushie that comes with this book **farts when you squeeze it.** So basically, someone took the innocent concept of encouraging children to read and thought, “You know what would really seal the deal? Butt noises.” Honestly, I kind of respect the commitment. This book is aimed at kids ages 2–8, but I’m not convinced the age range accounts for the adults who will inevitably be squeezing the shark when the kids aren't looking. It could also make a pretty hilarious gag gift for someone who teaches, someone who loves sharks, or honestly anyone who has ever laughed at a fart. Because let’s be honest: there is a time and a place where pretty much every single person thinks farts are funny. And you cannot convince me otherwise. So, my dear myLot friends, is there anyone on your Christmas list who would consider this the perfect gift? Or, more importantly, is there someone on your list who absolutely does NOT deserve this but is getting it anyway?
