Everyone Does It.

I'm about to get real up in here.

I'm going to talk about a 4 letter word that causes a lot of embarrassment.

It is something I promised myself that I would never do.

It's something I did yesterday.

Needless to say, it caused ME a lot of embarrassment yesterday...but for the sake of newlywed-ness, I am writing this post.

The more I tried to talk myself out of telling you all about it, the more I laughed; 

the more I realized how perfectly it fit in with newly married life.

It's such a gross word.

It can be a noun..or a verb.

It's something a "lady" shouldn't say.

Something a "lady" doesn't do (ha!)

Do you have any guesses?

I can't believe I'm about to write it out for everyone to see.

I think I'm going to vomit.

Ok.

The embarrassing, four letter, gross word that a "lady" shouldn't say or do, is...

fart.

Oh my gosh.

There it is.

Out in the open.

(no pun intended...or maybe it is) 

How does this relate to newlywed life?

Well, I feel like I'm probably not the only new wife who believed and had high expectations that she would never do that in front of her husband.

I also feel like I'm probably not the only new wife who didn't live up to her expectations.  

Here's how it went down.

We were on our way to Roanoke, yesterday.

We were going to shop, eat dinner, watch a movie, and pick my dad up from the airport.

It's a two hour drive.

During the drive, I got a rumbly in my tumbly.

I tried to ignore it, but I quickly realized the feeling wasn't going to go away.

It was there to stay.

So I quickly made a plan in my head.

Just do it Autumn.  He won't even notice.  And, hey, even if he does notice, he does it ALL THE TIME. Yeah, he's not going to notice. 

So what did I do?

I did it.

And to my HORROR, I heard it.....so I KNEW he had to have heard it.

NOOOOO.

I sat there in silence, and stared out my window, praying I had just imagined the noise.

Oh, he heard.

He broke the silence by starting the following conversation:

Babe? ummmmm.  What was that noise?

What noise?

Babe.  Did you just fart?

What?

Hahahaha you did! Oh my gosh you did!

I burried my face in my hands

Oh my gosh I'm going to jump out of the truck.

Does it smell?   

TYLER! Oh my gosh....I am so embarrassed...

Because if it does, you should probably roll down the window...there's a slight chance that if I smell it, I might not find you attractive anymore.

...

After he said that, my awkwardness/embarrassment/horror began to fade and we have never laughed so hard in our lives. 

Hey, everyone does it! But just because I did it once, doesn't mean I will EVER do it again.

Hooray for awkward/embarrassing newlywed moments!

I dare you to tell yours:)
