That was utterly one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had.

Not fifteen minutes ago..

My mother and I were standing by the kitchen sink, drinking raspberry Diet Rite... and having a belching contest.

Mom won handily.

She then proceeded to attempt to instruct me on how to swallow air so as to get Large Burps.

I didn't learn too well.


And to think. All this time I thought my mom had been more or less the sane one in my family.

Now.. I'm fairly sure there's no such thing.
