Farting....

Yes, this is a post about farting (after such a lengthy break that was the best I could come up with, in my defense I was on holidays). Isntit such a taboo topic! Most people (particularly women)like to pretend they never do it, mostly in public. Haven't we all walked into a cloud of foul miasma in the supermarket and then of course have blamed our spouse/partner? Let's face it, more often than not (particularly in the case of Mr silent but deadly) it actually is your partner. Let's just examine all the names we give to the fart.
Medical-flatulence
Blunt-fart
Polite-pass wind/gas
Euphemism-fluff/let fluffy off the chain
Maternal-pop off
The list could go on. I'm open to further terms.
The interesting thing I noticed while we were away was the change in our wind production. Where did you go that caused that change? I hear you say. Nowhere exotic. No we didn't go to India,Tibet or Asia. We went to the USA. For 3 weeks, from one side of the country(la) to the other(ny). By the time we got to ny, the whole family was going at it, in turn. Miss 7 got a cold while there, so I sat with her in the hotel room one day while miss 10 and hubby went out for a while. When they returned miss 10 went for the cologne spray as soon as she walked in. That was me and it was foul, more so the next night after I ate a stew of sausages & sauerkraut at a Ukrainian restaurant on the lower east side. Not a good choice on reflection, but so nice at the time. Now we are back home and have all mysteriously settled down, wind wise. Odd that. The food, while big in serving size (but more about that in a later post)is not that different. Sure there was (particularly in LA) more Mexican food, but we didn't eat that much of it. I guess it's the water, the cooking oil and whatever gave some of the soft drinks(or sodas), fairy floss (cotton candy) and lollies (candy). Whatever it was, thankfully it's over. Now we have to keep reminding miss 7 that she doesn't need to shout out"have you farted?" to her sister in public
