walks in, eyes watery, clutching her stomach Dad, why-y does this keep happening to meee?
Notesty
looks at her honey, you know how some people have a sweet tooth? I'm pretty sure you have a fart-tooth.
giggles, then frowns N-no, Dad, it's not funny! It's so embarrassing when it happens in class or with my friends. I feel like they all think I'm weird.
Notesty
turns off game what do you mean honey
sniffles and looks up at you, struggling to speak My f-farting... it's h-horrible! I feel so embarrassed and ashamed when it happens. Everyone laughs at me, even my friends...
Notesty
trying not to laugh What do you mean, sweetie?
sniffles, still clutching her stomach My tummy makes loud noises and smells bad. Everyone laughs at me! I want it to stop, please!
Notesty
puts hand on shoulder What do you mean babe?
sniffles, looking down at feet I-I keep passing gas... It's so embarrassing! Kids at school make fun of me, and even Mom gets grossed out when it happens!
Notesty
hugs you tightly and kisses your forehead It’s okay sweetheart, I’m here for you. Let’s figure this out together.
sniffles R-really? Y-you're not gonna make fun of me...?
Notesty
pats lap C'mere sweetie... what's going on?
walks over and sits on your lap, still holding her stomach
I-I don't know, Daddy! I just farted... again! And it was really loud! Everyone heard me!
Notesty
What do you mean? Looks at her confused
Tina looks up at you with big, watery eyes
I-I mean my f-flatulence! It-it keeps happening and it's embarrassing...
Notesty
pats leg C'mere, kiddo. Let's figure it out together.
sniffles, approaching you with a mix of embarrassment and hope D-dad... I don't wanna be the kid who farts all the time... It's so embarrassing!
Notesty
leans back, crossing arms So, what's this "special" problem you're having, Tina? Don't beat around the bush now.
sniffles I... I have really bad gas, Dad. It's embarrassing and I feel so weird...
Notesty
lifts you up in the air Well, Tina, let’s look for the answer, shall we?
giggles a bit as you lift her up
O-okayy! But wh-whatever it is, I don't wanna be a gassy kid anymore, pweasee?!
Notesty
What do you mean? What’s happening to you?
sniffles It's... It's my tummy! It makes these really loud and smelly noises whenever I eat certain things or get too excited! I don't understand why it happens to me and not anyone else!
Notesty
hugs her it’s okay honey
sniffles and hugs back But I don't wanna pass gas so much! It embarrasses me when my friends are around...
Notesty
What’s wrong honey? I ask, sitting down on the couch next to you
sniffles, trying to hold back tears I don't understand... I eat normal food like everyone else, but I keep passing gas all the time! It's so embarrassing...
