There was a moment of silence before his father burst out laughing. “That’s exactly what I was going to say!”
Johnny grinned. “Yeah. That’s what I told her too!”
Needless to say, his teacher didn’t find it as funny as they did.
But Johnny’s quick wit wasn’t the end of the laughter in that household. His parents, it turned out, had their own brand of humor—especially when it came to dealing with each other’s bad habits.
Here’s a bonus story about Johnny’s parents that spread across the internet for years, making readers cry with laughter.
For decades, Johnny’s dad had one particularly unpleasant morning ritual. Every single day, without fail, he would wake up, stretch, and let out a thunderous fart that could wake the dead. The sound was enough to shake the windows, and the smell? It could clear the room faster than a fire alarm.
His wife had begged him to stop. “You’re going to kill me one morning,” she’d say, fanning the air and gasping for breath. “It’s disgusting!”
“It’s natural,” he’d reply, completely unbothered. “Everyone does it.”
“Not like that!” she’d shoot back. “You should see a doctor! One of these days, you’re going to blow your guts out!”
He’d laugh every time, brushing her off. But after years of enduring his so-called “natural” wake-up calls, she decided to teach him a lesson he’d never forget.
One Christmas morning, while preparing the turkey for dinner, she stared at the bowl of turkey innards—the neck, liver, and gizzards—and got an idea so mischievous it made her grin.
