a play, in one act

Setting: Living room in a California townhouse. The wife is lying on the couch watching tv, the husband enters from the kitchen and sits on her feet.

Husband: What’re you doing up? I thought you were still in bed.

Wife: Did you just fart on my feet?

Husband: Uh, no. That was, uh, Lily. (cue small dog entering from upstairs)

Wife: Really, because I felt it through the blanket. And Lily was upstairs. And I think you did it.

Husband: Well, I didn’t think you’d feel it! Sorry!

Wife: Wow.

    Trixie farted in my hand this morning…. It’s almost the same, except waaaayyyy cuter.

    Totally different note: I really liked the book you are reading right now. I also have some of her other books and I thought they were all really good.

  3. Sara Says:

    I’m the farter in my relationship.

    Just thought you should know.

    My favorite line is, “Well I didn’t think you’d feel it!”

    I’d say I’m right there with Sara and that I’m the farter in my relationship, but as I think about it, we’re pretty equal on the farting front. Luckily for me, my partner doesn’t do dutch ovens. (Ew, I never even heard of those until someone mentioned it on the intertubes a few years ago.)
