Last night, my wife made homemade Broccoli and cheddar soup. It was delicious. There were no leftovers. We scraped the pan with bread to get the last of the soup, that's how good it was. When it was bedtime, everyone was fast asleep, so I went to bed. About 90 min later, I started to have some GI distress and gas. No big deal took some gas meds and went back to bed. While I was sleeping, my son started using the bathroom too. Fast forward to this AM. I get up for work and get ready, shower and everything. While I was dressing, and taking care of the animals, I had a lot of flatulence and while everyone was still sleeping, I decided to let ‘em rip while getting ready. This is where the FU started. I finished getting ready and left for work as everyone was just getting up. About 5 minutes after I left, my phone rang. It was my wife, and she was yelling about a gas leak in the kitchen and how the whole house smelled bad, and the kids said it was a natural gas leak, so they went outside and were about to call the fire department. That's when I told her not to and confessed it was me. I had stunk up the kitchen from her soup last night. She was horrified and embarrassed because now the neighbors were outside asking what's going on.
TL:DR kids learned a great safety lesson about gas leaks now my wife will never make soup again.
