Hippos Fart Through Their Mouths…
Why is this so earth shatteringly important that I think it imperative to share with everyone?
Well, let me explain…
Just the other day I told someone something I’d heard in the past, regarding how hippo’s fart through their mouths. After thinking on it, I realized that I’d heard it from a movie with Val Kilmer, where he made that statement. I have actually never fact checked the information… and one should always do this before the retelling of a thing!
Here is what I found, everyone, and I was shocked, dismayed… and ran for my toothbrush:
According to Googleydoo,
Normal, harmless bacteria in the intestine break down food and produce gas. Any excess gas production or accumulation will cause the passing of gas to occur through the mouth or rectum. Therefore, your friend was partially correct, hippos do pass gas through their mouths. It is called “burping.”
If you haven’t seen it yet, I wish to bring your attention to the fact that, in reality… everyone does this with the gases that the body produces! Yeah, that is pretty horrifying when you think about all the times you felt safe burping around your guests, family and/or friends.
So, as I try to brush my teeth without throwing up, I want to warn everyone for the future of this world… watch where you’re pointing that thing, and cover your mouth…

The Art of I’m Sorry…
While WordPress still seems unable to fix the missing prompt question issue, I will press on with the answer issue…
One would think that being able to give a simple sincere “I’m Sorry”, would be easy peezy! Not nowadays!
When I was growing up, I learned through grown ups and public school, how I was supposed to apologize when I gave offense. Just say you are sorry and try not to repeat the negative behavior.
Gone are those days, I fear…
Now, when someone offends another, they make every effort to give an extensive excuse as to why they did or said whatever it was that was so bad, and push the blame onto another… most often the one who was offended!
If anything comes out of our mouth after the words “I’m Sorry”, often it reflects that we are not really sorry for the offense, but rather, sorry that we have to say we are sorry… if you get my drift.
It would be so refreshing if we could begin, once again, teaching our children to just say I’m sorry when they err in some way. If they can see that making mistakes is human, and no one is perfect… perhaps they would grow up in a society where they can take ownership of their own actions… the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Kids do as kids see… they watch, observe, and then emulate the behavior to see if they get the same outcome… practice practice practice!
Where do you think most learn the art of CYA or Cover Your Ass behavior? Grown Ups!
We grown adults need to step up and make a better effort to instill the things our young ones need to survive this life. When it comes to teaching the art of “I’m Sorry”, we simply have to practice it… in front of our kids! There is absolutely nothing better to do, as a grown adult parent, than to say we’re sorry when we mess up with our kids… show them that we too mess up, and can be brave enough to admit our error.
It’s just a thought…
