farting

I used to believe that our family was the only family that farted.

Teri

When I was young I apparently had a curious belief about farting. My parents found this out when I announced, after one particularly loud fart, that I had a horn in my bottom.

My mom used to say that if you farted to much ,when you got old that you butt would become loose and you wouldn't be able to hold you poop in and you'd poop your pants.

I used to think that farting was the sound the food I ate crying. My uncle used to tell me 'Dont be embarrassed about farting in public, A fart is just the cry of a lonely turd'
Then hed do his famous fart poem

Excuse the gas that had to pass
just be happy I have a clean ass.

He was pretty gross!

When I was younger my Dad used to tell my if I farted too much my ass would fall off, so I tried not to fart and I ran up to him a few week later telling him it had fallen off when I got in the bath.

I was told that if you just let your farts out then eventually you would not be able to sop yourself farting - I was petrified, and had horrible visions of walking down the street farting uncontrolably (teriible thought)!!!!!

Never farts unless he can (really) help it!!!

When I was little and farted my mother would insist I say "excuse me". I never heard her say excuse me so I thought only kids farted!

i used to believe that stomach aches were farts stuck in sideways.

When my family went camping on Labor Day weekend with another family we were friends with, I remember whenever somebody farted, one of the member's of the other family would cover their beer or drink with their hand. I thought from then on that if you didn't do this, then the fart would get into your drinks.

My schoolmate Nick used to think that girl's farts smelt of roses.

Nathan

As a child I believed that if I did not pull my fathers finger that he could explode. Now that I have a child of my own, I have instilled this fear in her.

I remeber when i was young my nana used to say that when you farted you were letting some of your soul escape. So i used to hold it in until i got really bad cramps. Needless to say i stopped believing when i was rushed into hospital.

i used to believe that if you farted out of your mouth, you'd die.

To begin, you need a bit of background on my family: Dad's a lawyer, Mom's a medical researcher. And they're a bit careless with their references.

Anyway, I found a book called the Amazing Machine about the human body, and, being at the time in my machinery-fascination stage, started reading.

Then after dinnertime, I sat at the table and waited for several minutes. When Mom noticed me, she asked what I was waiting for.

To which I replied, "For someone to bring in this can of gas we're supposed to pass around after we eat."

One time my dad told me that if I fart and burp at the same time, you would implode. I tried and tried, but I couldn't do it. About six mounths later my dad told me that it wasn't true. That means I told all my friends a lie!

I remember when my sister was about 5, she would not fart in the tub. She thought that it would form a smelly-film on top of the water that would kling to every inch of your body when you were ready to get out of the tub.

While my husband and I were still dating, he asked me this, with a completely serious look on his face: "Do girls fart?" I couldn't stop laughing!
