Funny Story. I was sitting in a meeting the other day eating my muffin and sipping my tea. Some dude walked in and immediately said something about my muffin. “uhmm that looks really good, where did you get it?” I mumbled something and went back to my pseudo-breakfast. Dude must have really wanted the muffin because like 2 minutes after he sat down, his stomach started to growl. Grrrrrrowwwwll…. grrrowwwl… GGGGGGRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOWWWWLLLL.
Man, don’t laugh, you’ve been there. Shoot.. I’ve been there.
You are sitting in a public place and your stomach is growling so loud you think the whole world can hear it. And most of the time they can!! Then you start the hard task of trying to quiet it down. Dude next to me kept pressing on his stomach as if to say “please calm down”, “shh!!!”, “SHUT UP!” LOL. It was embarrassing for him, but it was even more embarrassing for me …pretending not to hear.
If I was any kind of good human being I might have given him a piece of my muffin. But I’m not that good…besides, it was half gone and I was hungry. LOL. Excuses. Excuses.
The next time my stomach growls in public, I think I’m just going to announce it to the world. “Gosh my stomach is really growling today.. I better leave this ‘riveting’ meeting and go find myself a snack”.
