Clear the Area

    About a week ago I went to the mall with my daughter Maria and Bianca. Both of them were so hyper active and could not hold still while inside the mall. I can’t manage both pushing Bianca in the stroller and Maria in a grocery cart, so I usually put them together in the cart and pushed them. My daughter Maria, who is very aware, kept asking me a lot of questions. We were in the cosmetics area, and there were two ladies behind us. They were smiling, because Maria was trying to talk, but it did not sound right.

    Anyway, before I’ll proceed, let me give you some positive and negative information about what will happen if you eat beans. Well, beans are a high fiber food; that means it does not stay in your digestive system for long. Once you eat it, you will discharge it the same day or on the next day. Since I am on a diet, beans are always part of it. Now, for the negatives, beans will make you fart or flatulent, if you prefer. I don’t understand why beans make so much gas, but the sound can be very embarrassing in public. Now for the smell, oh it’s, most of the time, gross and nasty, never aromatic, but sometimes benign. I know how embarrassing it is in public, but if I am at home, I love to make it a contest with hubby to see who can fart the loudest.

    Ok, back to the cosmetics area. I was there looking for something, until I felt like I wanted to release some gas. I was trying to hold it, but it exploded in silence. At least that was a positive, but the negative soon became too obvious, because it was a silent killer. To my surprise, Maria said, “Mama poot, Mama poot”. I thought, what in the world, and how does she know? Well, she gets the opportunity to hear and smell the results of digestion almost everyday at home. But, I was really embarrassed that the two ladies behind me were there to witness the unwanted exhibition. So, I quickly pushed the cart straight ahead and raced to the next aisle, before I finished shopping for what I was looking for.

    I took this photo last night to share with you what Maria’s face looked like when she said those words.

That the language inside the house because andre and hubby knows when I fart very loud like a motor and sometimes it will shake the bed if the 3 of us farting hahaha.

    @ JOANJOYCE: Silent killer nga eh. Mas delikado pag walang sounds. Hay kung alam mo lang, kami ni hubby palaging nagco-contest kung sino otot ng malakaw, ha-ha. ;) Si Maria naman pag ootot, natatakot kase minsan lang sya umootot. About your dieting, don’t worry sis, pag-aalis na si MIL, mag umpisa ka ulit. ;)

    @ SASHA: Manay, grabe ang pang-amoy nya. He-he…

    @ BECKI: That is the first one Becki. I’m gonna post my daughter’s expression soon. This is also funny. I think she got it from her father. Btw, thank you for visiting in my blog and welcome.

    @ JOANJOYCE: Hay naku Joan, si hubby ang pinakamalakas and I can’t beat him. But he he said, mine is a silent killer daw. Silent killer kase di masikmura ang amoy. he-he… :)

    @ NATURAL: Oh yeah-yeah. My daughter Maria just started to talk and she has a lot of none sense questions. It’s very tiring to answer those question like “What are you doing?” when in fact, she see me cooking, washing the dishes, cleaning and et cetera. :D

    Naku, just like here at home pala kayo,. Sometimes my kids would act as shooting somebody using the sound of fart as a bullet.. If there is only the three of us and my son had another “bullet”, he would point it to his trigger.By the way, you got tagged here
