I'm torn between the traditional piggy bank and the farting butt bank. Really, I can't decide which to get my 4 year old daughter!

On the one hand, the traditional 'piggy bank' would look nice in her room and give her a life-long memento of learning to save. The responsible parent inside of me, however deep that persona is [I think it's still there], is leaning towards this option.

On the other hand, I can totally envision her laughing her little head off every single time the 'butt bank' farts as she drops coins into it.  Like me, she has a very basic sense of humor...farts, burps and pretty much all bodily functions are a continued source of hilarity. The fun parent inside of me, which I try to keep at the surface, thinks that this would be a hilarious way to get my little girl interested in saving money.

Hmm, any thoughts?

PS: Initially I questioned the appropriateness of a farting butt bank for a 4 year old, but think about it.... She already knows what farting is. She knows that it's not socially acceptable to just 'let em rip.' And she knows to say 'excuse me' when one slips by. So this isn't teaching her to do something that is socially unacceptable since she already knows better (and which I'll continue to reinforce). I just think it would be a damn funny way to teach her about saving.
