Okay. Deep breath. Here it goes. My mom is out of town. I just can't stop myself. I am about to post what I think is one of the funniest stories I have ever heard. Hopefully those of you who are not family members can be open-minded and share our warped sense of humor on this one.
Let me begin by saying that I don't really have my mother's permission to post this. I am going with the "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" motto on this one! But she did share it with all of her children..... But my dad (who has a part in this story) had no problem with me "blogging" it (hmmmmm....does my dad even know what a blog is?) As you read this story you will laugh that he has no problem with it....
Here goes.....
Okay, by way of background, those of you who know my mother know she is the sweetest and most spiritual person I have ever met. She has a very simple faith in all spiritual matters and because of this her prayers are always answered. I mean always. We joke that she has a "red phone" to the Lord. (told you we are a slightly blasphemous family).
So here's what happened:
On the Saturday before Christmas my mother always makes a fancy breakfast for all of her daughters. We meet there about 9 in the morning and she serves a fabulous breakfast. (Told you she is the sweetest ever!) We then separate and head out to do our last minute Christmas stuff.
The night before My mom was up late getting the breakfast ready but wanted to get up by 7:00 a.m. for more preparation. My dad had been working hard that week and she did not want to wake him up and wanted him to be able to sleep. The problem was that she does not have her own alarm clock. She just gets up with my dad's alarm the rest of the week. So, she had a dilemma.
But...... really not a dilemma for her. She just said a prayer that she would wake up by 7:00 and went into a deep sleep for the night. (nothing to worry about when you have a red phone, right). She was awakened by the LOUDEST and LONGEST noise she had ever heard! She then realized that it was a gargantuan FART coming from my Dad! It was loud enough to wake her from a dead sleep but he was still snoring away...... Sure enough, she looked at the clock. You guessed it. It was 7:00.
Happy St. Patrick's Day 2026

oh my goodness, that is too funny.
My stomach hurts from laughing so hard! That is SO FUNNY! That story really did need to be shared - HILARIOUS!!
O.K. Natalie that is so funny - Your Dad must have a good sense of humor if he was o.k. with you sharing this. Great story!
We also have someone in the family who seems to have a direct phone line when it comes to having prayers answered and when we really need a prayer answered we ask Dawson (if you can believe it's him) to pray for us - seems to work every time.
Thanks for sharing, I am still laughing
If a spouse farting is God communicating, I must be a prophet.
Oh shoot. Delete that comment.
You always have the most amazing stories to share with us. I love it! Anyway, I'm sure if the sound of the fart didn't wake her, the smell would have.... so either way she was sure to wake up. That is so funny. Your poor Mom. I bet she would be so embarrassed because she is so shy. I agree that she is really sweet.
Okay, Natalie, that is so weird. I have NO idea who Chrome Fender Studios is or how I was able to leave a comment under that name. But this is Wendy. I'm a little freaked out about that. Creepy.....
Gary told me that story, but your version was much better. Way funny.
