Okay so it’s a funny F up but had me laughing to no end. So the backstory: This happened last week, my wife (30F) moved to my country from the USA almost a year ago and the 4th of July was coming and I (27m) wanted to do something special for it. I ordered a few decorations to set up and kept it well hidden so on the day before, I got the balloons out and after finishing up with work, i started blowing them up and hiding them all around the house (like in closets and wardrobes).

Now here’s where the fuck up happened. Whilst I was blowing up a balloon, I could hear my wife walking quickly down the hallway towards the bedroom so my first instinct was to let the air out whilst coughing loudly and expectedly, the air coming out sounded like an absolute heinous fart and the cough itself didn’t help! I slowly slipped out the room and my wife was there and asked: “Did you just fart??” I’m unable to hold my laughter but at the same time trying to look guilty and answer her: “Yes 🤣🤣”

She gives me the most disgusted look ever and I’m just in front of her laughing, trying to look semi ashamed. So I left and went back and messaged her sister explaining what happened and she could not stop laughing either. For the rest of the day I was getting weird looks from my wife. (Keep in mind, farting is normal but when it sounded like that balloon, she was right to be concerned haha)

Fast forward to next day when I revealed the surprise, we both laughed so hard when I finally revealed to her that it wasn’t a fart but rather the balloon.

TL;DR: wanted to surprise wife with 4th of July decor, whilst blowing up balloons, I ended up making her think I did the most diabolical fart.

Thanks for reading!
