It was Easter and the last family gatherings have been a little dramatic. Everything was going smooth until politics, religion, and the was people should raise their kids was brought up. Family members were gas lighting and others were desperately trying to change the topic. I was becoming quite frustrated as well. Without thinking I put my hand to my mouth and secretly made the loudest fart noise. Everything switched to laughter and I admitted to the fart and joked about it as if it was the real thing. Everyone suddenly wanted to Crack jokes and the rest of the family event went without drama or heated topics.
It was a gut instinct to create such a distraction and I’m quite proud of my fart.
Who knows I might use this tactic again.
I rather embarress myself and joke about it then watch my family members create conflict with eachother. Perhaps there are better ways to create such a distraction though 😆 💩
