(and , no, not all of my posts are going to be about toots)

I was wondering the other day if I should take up yoga again.

Now I have to admit, I am a teensy bit overweight. (Well, a lot overweight, but I'm jolly.) I decided to take yoga with my neighbor so I could get away from the rugrats and hubbie for awhile and relax. Little did I know how hard it would be.

So here I am, in my yoga gear, sitting on my mat, learning all about contortions and stretches I had never done before. It was actually rather nice at times and I always felt good afterward. The only problem I had with yoga was that in certain positions, I almost always tooted. And I wasn't the only one, believe me!

Now, you're probably saying, "Dana, just take some Beano and deal with it." Well, you try lying on your back with your butt up in the air, holding on to the backs of your knees while you try to touch your chin to said knees and tell me you don't have the urge to toot? Maybe if I was skinny it wouldn't be a problem, but when you are Pooh-sized, you belly gets squeezed in that position and you toot like a dog toy.

What's funny is that no one laughed or even showed that they noticed. They were all too caught up in the zen-like moment of the meditation or something. And then every once and a while, in the quiet, you'd hear another toot coming from the other side of the room and realise you weren't the only one.
