funny story for the sleep deprived

[MummyBeth]

It's 4.50am dd (18 months) has been up and down since 2.30. She is settling herself as long as I'm in the room so I am doing a gradual retreat towards the door, appears to be working as I've made it out twice! Anyway on this latest retreat I was just stepping over the threshold when nature took over and I farted really loudly! DD up like a shot so Back in I went suppressing giggles which has brought on a nasty bout of hic-ups!

I am now sitting on the floor half giggling, hic-upping and trumping my way through the sleep deprivation. I'm not sure if any parenting books would recommend this as a sleeping technique but DD is out for the count and I am smiling instead of pulling my hair out.

OMG you have poisoned gassed your own child.
Is the room well ventilated or is it like a gas chamber. Lol

I was expecting you to say you stood on a squeaky toy or the like.

If your dp goes in to get her up just be ready to say she was really trumpy that's probably why it was so hard to put her down

Ha ha, she did go back to sleep quite quickly, poor child is oxygen deprived!

DH was out for a few drinks last night so will have been gaseous himself. I'm 8 months pregnant and I have lost control of many bodily functions.

Nothing beats a bit of early morning immaturity!

That's brightened up my stupidly early morning.
Nothing like giggling at a trump to start the day

(Thanks) laughter is good medicine. I must put a smile on my face when the 'fun' begins tonight.

Sometimes there's just nothing else to be done except laugh! Often the alternative is to cry and I know which one I'd rather be doing! Good luck meme!
