to find it strange that DH records himself farting

I realise this sounds quite ridiculous (have namechanged).

DH gave me his LG phone as he got a new upgrade, he left all the music on it because we like similar stuff.

DS aged 2 woke up v.early this morning so I got in his bed and was playing music on the phone to him, to let DH and DD sleep until his alarm.

In a folder marked 'unknown' i found all these really long sound clips of disgusting wet, loud LONG farts. I have never heard farts like it. DS was laughing his head off, and I did kind of giggle because they were so unbelievable! I thought that they must have been downloaded from the net or something.

But at the end of one clip, my DS's unmistakeable voice, saying 'Daddy?'

The phone has a voice recorder on it!
Theres loads of them, all dated...going back a year or so. There's even one from the day our baby DD was born! AAhhhh.

When he woke up I said 'there's a lot of farts on that mobile you gave me!' - he went quiet then mumbled that he wanted to attach them to an email to his mate or something. I said 'oh ok' and left it.
After he went out I went back to the phone and he'd secretly deleted them all!

AIBU to think this a bizarre hobby? To record yourself doing that? Mind you, they were so extraordinary that I suppose he is quite proud of them!

Have you ever discovered your DH/DP does something secret and weird?
I kind of want to laugh and wind him up about it, but not sure if I should!

Pikelit! Well I could said that it keeps the bed warm, but that would be gross!

theworldgone - OMG i didnt think of that!

Yes, it probably is strange that I haven't heard him fart in 5 yrs! If they sound like that though....not surprised he hides away.

The one that was recorded on the day DD was born was at 0315, I woke up in early labour that day at about 0500. So he was recording it in the night, in the bathroom I guess...or next to me asleep!!

2 were recorded in the last month, so its not something he did months ago and then forgot!

I am DYING to mention it but i think it will be excruciating for him. I often read aloud funny MN threads to him, but i'm not sure how he'd feel at being the subject!

I have recorded my dh snoring - but that doesn't count, does it!

theworldgonedmad - rofl ,

op - cant believe you have never heard your dh fart in 5 years , unfortunately my dh makes it his mission to let off a ripper in front of the dc's & myself then blames it on everyone else

Is your H a 15 yo boy?

PfftTheMagicDragon · 02/10/2009 16:03

Maybe he was going to save them for a memory box for your children? That's the best I can do in response to the fact that he spent your daughters day of birth recording his farts

could be worse, look on the bright side, or the sunny side lol

RubyBooBerry · 02/10/2009 16:08

at the risk of sounding very juvenile (sp?) me and DH did this loads before we had children!!
The worst bit was selling the phone on ebay. The buyer put on his feedback to me "loving the farts" as we forgot to delete them off!

LoveBeingAMummy · 02/10/2009 16:12

This is the funnest thing ever, shame he deleted them you could have set it to you ring tone when he called you

blowingoff · 02/10/2009 16:22

ruby - PMSL! so there are others out there!
but maybe my DH seems weird because its so...secretive! If i do end up showing him the thread i will tell him about your phone, that may make him feel better about it!!
