When I sleep, I use a Bi-PAP machine to aid my breathing. The mask I use fits over my nose, and in theory at least, the fit is air tight. The machine pumps air at a specified pressure through the mask. It forces me to breathe more deeply.
Okay, well, the point is, air is blowing through the air tight (or so we thought) mask. Of course, in practice, it's not always completely air tight, and when the air escapes, it makes a distressingly anti-social noise. It farts!
I was talking to my son earlier this evening, after I had put it on, and the dang mask farted. First out one side, then the other. My son's jaw dropped and in an incredulous tone he asked me, "Mother! Did you just fart?! You just farted!"
"I did not! It wasn't me! Honest. It was the mask!"
"Sure it was, Mom."
"It was!"
"Oh, I believe you." And of course, I just knew he didn't.
I moved my head slightly, and the mask farted again. He started laughing, and I started laughing, which made louder and louder fart sounds... What a mother and son moment -- making fart noises! How old am I again?
LOL >fart fart< Oh! Excuse me!
