Bloggers "Firsts"- "Gassing" in front of your significant other

Ahnika and I are best friends for multiple reasons..
1. she sends me bomb care packages
2. she demonstrates, via skype, the positions her vag waxer makes her get into
and 3. she tells me about what to expect from breastfeeding with inverted nipples
(book illustrations included)
 
Her "first" had me laughing out loud.

*****
i want to begin by saying that megan specifically asked me to write about this topic...
there is a first time for everything, right?
gassing in front of your boyfriend is no exception to this rule.

grant and i had been dating almost a year when he flew out from boston to santa barbara to visit me during summer break. 
we hadn't dropped the L bomb,
we could make out for hours,
and my face was fuller.

flatulence had been avoided at all costs up to this point and i had no intention of changing that.
but on special occasions,
the body forgets your preferences and speaks for itself.


we were in the room that grant was using and my sister and i started to wrestle.
girls wrestling? that's weird. 
yeah, it was.
 grant was there being entertained by the strange faux-fight taking place,
and the room was by no means large.


suddenly,
a silent burst of warm air leaped out of my backside. 
i froze.
surely my sister would know my crime in a matter of seconds.
would she ignore it?
no.
it could not be ignored.
the pungent smell creeped into her nostrils with such a fire that she couldn't help but scream,
"OH GROSS!! AHN YOU FARTED."
it was an SBD* of epic proportions.


there was no hiding from it.
i was outed and forever lost in my shame.
for who could ever learn to love a beast?


as it turned out, grant could.
we've been married 3.5 yrs and made a baby (albeit still in my womb) together.
the gassing goes on,
but it's a two way street.
and it makes us laugh (and occasionally cry) a lot.

*when i told megs and stephen this story over skype i had to explain to stephen that SBD means Silent But Deadly...foreigners 


 just a couple of kids reclining on some tree roots in the summer of 2005

  7. This. Is. Hilarious. 1, I love that you asked her specifically for this story. And 2, I love that she had to explain to Stephen what SBD is. I think I underestimate the challenge you've taken on by dating a foreigner.

  8. I always threaten to "fart" and Hubby screws up his face ewww don't, but he talks so loud that half the time I do it right after I threatened to "fart" and he doesn't even hear it!!! And of course my "farts" don't smell so he doesn't really know!!!! hahahahahahahaha. Oh god, I just cracked myself up.

  20. Hahahah, uhm a boyfriend of mine once sat on my stomach, after I warned him not to, and that was the first. He got such a fright!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hahaha, I love it! I managed to avoid that for a LONG time with my last bf... Finally ruined my track record when I was actually IN the bathroom in our hotel room and he HEARD it... I was mortified, but we never spoke of it... That's why I loved him. He knew when to keep his mouth SHUT.

  25. Oh. Em. Gee. I should be sleeping right now, but instead I'm up reading blogs on my phone... And this just made my whole life. I laughed out loud on multiple occasions.

  26. "a silent burst of warm air leaped out of my backside"

    that's the line that got me. bahahaha. dying.

    also, I've experienced Ahn's SBD's in person. in a bed. together. I'll just leave it at that.

  27. gassing is natural. it's unnatural to hold it in...and bad for you according to doctors. i don't know which doctors, but it sounds right.

    also, you and bridge may be bff's, but i noticed you don't need to use an acronym to describe how it is with us. #suckitbridge

  28. Ahn you honestly have the WORST gas ever! Meg totally knew what she was doing when she asked you to write this one.

    ReplyDelete
  29. This had me laughing SO hard. I love it. I didn't fart in front of Troy until after we were married. When we first moved in together after the big day, we initially had a rule that we had to fart in the bathroom (so lame, I know!), but it only lasted a week. I say it brings you closer! The big question is, do you fart in front of Stephen??

    P.S. Did you and Ahn meet in blogland or were you real life friends first?

    ReplyDelete
  30. love it. because I have been married 7+ years and I STILL can't bring myself to fart in front of my husband and if I do, I still totally get embarassed.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Haha hilarious!! Ooh those SBD are awful! We never used to fart (hate that word) in front of each other until the last year or so... "I was in discomfort".. haha.
