Throwaway as my son knows my real account
My (F44) son, Alex (15M), has become a bit of a menace lately. He does this thing whenever my daughter (Abby, 13F) and I are watching TV. He’ll walk by and then pass gas, which honestly disrupts our entire experience.
We’ve asked him to stop, but he only laughs it off and says it’s an accident. The other day, while I was cleaning out our garage, I found some old whoopee cushions we had. I decided to take one to play a prank on Alex.
Later that day, Alex brought home about four of his friends to hang out. Before they headed down to the basement, I asked for a chat in our living room. When Alex attempted to take a seat, I asked him to sit next to me and he accepted. As he was about to sit, I placed the whoopee cushion under him, and you can imagine everyone’s reaction.
Alex laughed at the time, but later that evening after his friends had left, he told me and my husband (Mike, 47M) that this was the most embarrassing thing to happen to him in his life. I apologized, but I couldn’t help but smirk a little as I did, which seemed to frustrate him. Mike just said, “Sorry buddy, you farted around and found out.”
I think Alex may still be a bit annoyed with me and I do feel a little guilty.
AITA?
