We went out for Japanese for dinner tonight.  Sushi and miso soup are great comfort foods for two stressed out people and their little toddler.  This particular place we went to is a tiny little place that could probably squeeze in 20 people.  It’s never crowded, though…most people get takeout from this place anyway.  Tonight there was another couple in there tonight and they were over there laughing and sympathizing with us over Lukas’ screaming outbursts of happiness. 

All got quiet and Jessie and I were chatting and Lukas was sucking happily on a piece of shrimp tempura.  Then in the middle of one of Jessie’s sentences we heard a VERY loud….umm….zerbert sound.  What it was, was a person in the kitchen was squeezing a thick liquid out of a squeeze bottle and some air got in the way and made THAT noise.  Well Jessie stopped mid-sentence and started laughing because for a second there it sounded real.  It sounded like someone in the kitchen was releasing their bowels in a runny manner all over the place.  Well when Jessie started laughing, Lukas started laughing because Daddy was laughing.  Then the sound came again…only louder.  This time Lukas started laughing.  Really loud.  Sound came again.  Lukas laughed even louder.  By this point Jessie is practically in hysterics.  I am embarrassed at this point, so what do I do?  I start giggling.  This didn’t help matters.  Lukas sees me all red-faced and giggling and starts laughing even louder.  I don’t know what the other couple in the restaurant was doing because I was too embarrassed to look at them.  I was afraid I was going to see two people staring at us like we were aliens…aliens who find fart sounds extremely funny.
