We gathered around a round table as we prepared ourselves for the long night ahead of bombastic lecturing and inquiry. I had felt it coming for a while now, continuously manifesting in my tummy, stretching it to an uncomfortable size. I couldn't stand up and leave, I knew that the moment I move, it will be all over, all for nothing.
It was the moment when the nursery seems to have fallen asleep and the adults became more solemn than I thought possible when I felt an end near my abilities. I froze in place concentrating my butt muscles with my best attempt to stop it, yet everything turned out wrong. The sound started just as the air would escape a ballon through a small hole and persisted as time slowed to enjoy making it a good laugh. And I do mean it lasted long, probably 15 seconds continuously. Indifferent, I glanced around as every single one of my friends stared right back at me, making me realize I'd have a better chance uncovering a dinosaur fossil under my foot than try that lame escape. Out of curiosity, a simple boy stammered, "wait...was, was that your stomach?". Yet what was I to respond? To promptly say "no. I farted" was pretty much off the list. I gave a nervous chuckle or two as everyone else erupted in laughs comically while that boy chuckled too and glanced around, looking almost as out of place as I was.
Inevitably, my friend later came to me and said, "you know, you didn't seem to have squirmed that much, when I have to hold it in, it always involves a lot of awkward movement."
So there you have it. There are two types of people in this world: those who can successfully maintain their image in public, and those who fail embarrassingly.
