So I was sitting with my youngest niece, she is 7, and we were coloring. Well, Briella (my stoma) started making noises, you know, passing gas and gurgling. She knows fully well what my stoma is and has seen it. Anywho, she was giggling because of the noise but made herself try and stop because she didn't want to offend me by laughing. But every time the noise came, a giggle then straight face. I said, "You can laugh, it is pretty funny, but come on y'all, a 7-year-old trying her hardest not to laugh because she didn't know if my feelings were to get hurt. What a sweetie."
