I was in my mother's kitchen visiting and catching up, and we had this very typical exchange, which I found humorous.
She said, "Oh by the way, DD (I won't use my real name here) I discovered something that really works well. I think it will help you with your problem."
"My problem? What problem is that?" The suspense was killing me.
"Your gas. Ever since you were little you have always had a problem with gas." She noted.
What? For the record I assure you that I have never complained to her or anyone about a gas problem. "Mom, I don't have gas any worse than the next person!" I retorted.
"Oh, yes you do. you have always been gassy." She was quite convinced of this.
She picked up a big bottle of Beano. "This stuff works great!"
Of course I'd heard of it, but I never really considered taking it. "Mom, I'm sure it does, but I don't have a problem, and I don't want to have to remember to take a pill before I eat."
She told me, "Just keep it right on your table. You'll see it there and remember to take it."
"Oh, mom. I am sure it will make a great conversation starter whenever we have guests...." and on it went from there.

Hopefully, there wasn't anyone else in the room during this conversation. Aren't Mom's great? LOL
Remember how Matt would say he had the best f-rts! Proudly he woud claim them, "Mine was the loudest." And if anyone let a bad smelling on out he would claim it as his own too.
Beano ? I have never heard of it. Pleae do not leave it on your table ;)
Maybe we should send some Beano to Corey since she also has a teenage son.
Yes, Mat still does that in certain company. I doubt Beano would sell in France. Besides, what happens to the gas? Better out than in!
