When a teacher goes to college they expect to be able to teach their students about all sorts of things, but there are certain things that they never dream they’ll have to talk to their students about. That’s why when one teacher recently shared an unexpected teaching moment on her social media page, it caught the attention of everyone that read it. And it truly might be one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a long time.

Anna Trupiano is a first-grade teacher at Kendall Demonstration Elementary School in Washington D.C. The school works to support hard of hearing and deaf students from birth up to the eighth grade. Trupiano says she teaches her students the typical school subjects, but she also has to teach them how to thrive in life with their impairments, which one day, included information on passing gas.

A six-year-old student in her class farted loudly one day, and unbeknownst to him because he is deaf, some of the students in his class could hear what happened.

That’s when the most adorable and hilarious conversation you could ever imagine took place. Better yet, it all took place in sign language. Trupiano explained that the hearing students could hear the little boy fart. This is the conversation that ensued.

Kid 1: What do you mean?

Kid 2: Wait, they can hear all farts?!

Trupiano: Well, no, not all farts, but some.

Kid 3: How do you know which farts they can hear and which farts they can’t?

Trupiano: Hmm…you know how sometimes you can feel your butt move when you fart? A lot of those they can hear. But if your butt didn’t move, it’s more likely that they didn’t hear it.

Kid 1: Tell them to stop listening to my farts. That’s not nice!

Trupiano: Hearing kids can’t stop hearing farts. It just happens.

Kid 2: I will just stop farting then.

Trupiano: You can’t stop farting. It’s healthy. Everyone farts.

Kid 3: Wait. Everyone farts? Even my mom?

Trupiano: Yep.

Kid 2: My dad?

Trupiano: Yep

Kid 1: You?

Trupiano: Yep. (To which the kids started laughing hysterically.)

Kid 1: So you can hear and smell all the farts?

Trupiano: Some farts, yes. Not all of them.

Kid 2: Can hearing people see farts?

Kid 3: Yeah. Green smoke comes out of their butts. I saw it on t.v.

Trupiano: That doesn’t happen in real life.

Kid 1: What? Ugh. I don’t understand farts.

Who would have thought that a teacher would go to so many years of school just to have a conversation like this. But I have to admit that it is really funny. Be sure to share this story with your family and friends. They’ll get a good laugh out of it too.
