Turdy and the Old Fart

Turdy and the Old Fart tells a story about the importance of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. Our generation is lucky to have grandparents to raise, teach and protect us when parents are busy working. Sadly, when we are ready to go out into the world and become adults, grandparents are leaving us all by ourselves. Turdy and the Old Fart tells a story about a young boy's journey into the wide world, accompanied by his grandfather. Oh, and it takes place inside the gut.
