As I was getting into my car, I intended to let out a sigh - a sound of contentment and happiness. I was feeling good because I had just spent some time with good people, and when I am alone, when I am happy, I often let out big sighs or make big noises like the Carol Burnett "Tarzan Yell".
Well, I guess that, as a new mom, I have transitioned from sighs and Tarzan Yells to making raspberry noises that sound something like this:
So, I let out a sigh/raspberry - for a good 20-30 seconds. It felt AWESOME, and I smiled as I finished. I got into my car, and as I was looking left to reach for my seat belt, I saw a guy in the truck next to me staring at me with disgust on his face, and slowly back his truck away. At first ,I could not figure out why he was so weirded out by my raspberry noise. I know it's a little weird, but it's certainly not disgusting. Then, it hit me:
The guy thinks I farted! This random church guy thinks I farted for a good 20-30 seconds, and then, got into my car, smiling to myself about it! Oh NO! I tried to lower my window to tell him it wasn't what he thought, but it was too late. He was gone.
I've never seen that guy before; he wasn't in the meeting I attended, and honestly, now, I couldn't pick him out of a two person line up. It was dark, and he was wearing a baseball hat. So, there is no way for me to track him down and clarify what really happened. Now, I just have to live with the fact that out there, somewhere, there's a guy who thinks some lady at church let one rip in the parking lot.
If you are him, by some incredible chance, please know that I am not that kind of person, and if you heard a guy telling a story about that happening, please set him straight!

Am I the only one that has things like this happen to them? Have any fun stories to share??
