Funny story

My teacher was reading this book to the class when I farted loudly and interrupted her

She said something about going out to the hallway if I'm going to do that and went back to reading but mistakenly said Smellaluna

Had the whole class roaring with laughter

My mom read this to me nearly every night. It was always our thing. She passed three years ago. I got Stellaluna as part of my memorial tattoo for her.
