body functions: farting

When we were little all of my friends and I believed that if you were touched by a person who farted, you would get the fart-touch. to make yourself immune you had to say "rooty-tootie-fresh-and-fruity, knock on wood!" and cross your fingers while counting to ten.

When I was little, I used to enjoy smelling my farts. If I farted in public, I would have a disgusted look on my face and I would pretend to cover my nose but I would actually sniff them in deeply. I did this because I believed that smelling something strong and rancid would make my sense of smell stronger and able to smell the worst of things. Good times, good times..

When I was young, my parents referred to farts as "Tooters." Of course, this was never written down, so my concept of the spelling of the word was not quite what it was today. I was convinced it was spelled "Tudor," and when I first heard that word used to describe the style of house I was really, really confused.

I thought that only fat people farted, because people at school never farted and everybody at my school is skinny. I am still not sure that this is untrue as I am yet to hear one of my classmates fart XD

This isn't my belief, but a few years ago my best friend made her little brother believe that if you ate only one food for an entire week (for example, apples), that your farts would smell like apples.
He never got to test the theory because there's no way a parent would let their child eat only one food for an entire week!

I was told that thunder was the sound of clouds bumping together after being split by lightening. Therefore, I believed farts were the sound of turds bumping together in your bowel.

My mom would fart and blame it on my cat Rose. I used to think Rose was the gassiest cat in the world. And I didn't realize that it wasn't my cat until I turned 15. It was when my mom was sitting by the cat and she farted and I looked over at my mom and go... "Mom, did you know that Rose only farts when she is around you?" she looked at me like I was the stupidest daughter ever!! lol I am a brunette who is blonde!!! lol

When i was little my grandpa told me and my cousins that if we swallowed our gum that we would fart bubbles. I stopped believing it when i was older and had tried it to see.

When my sister and I were younger I used to tell her that when people farted it left a bubble in the seat of their pants. She thought that's what butts were. People with big butts farted a lot and were very stinky.

when my sister was about three and noticed her first little fart, she put her hand to her mouth and said, "whoops, my bottom burped".

When I was young my dad used to lean against things like a wall or tree,or he would bend over and pick something up and he would rip a long loud one. Then say something like"did you hear that? the tree is moving" or "sounds like this thing is broken".He now walks stairs and says"creeky stairs, i better fix them soon"

I used to believe that babies didn't fart, but children over 6 and adults did.

However, a clip on You've Been Framed! - a UK comedy home video show - which showed a freshly powdered baby lying on its tummy and then farting a cloud of talcum powder proved otherwise!

i used to believe that when you farted you released
"poo particles" and if somone let one loose during dinner i would refuse to eat another bite it wasnt untill i was 9 i realised that i realised my sister was lying

I used to think that farts were really stink bubbles that come out of your butt and explode and make a really loud sound. The silent farts were when the bubbles were small and not ready to pop.

When I was 5 my sister told me that if you farted a fairy would appear and grant you 3 wishes. I wished for more farts lol

When I was young I believed that if you farted while you were at a gas station, that you had to hold your breath or the gas thingies would explode.
I also belived for a while that if you farted while you were next to a lamp, and if you farted right on the light bulb, it would turn on. Lol. :3
