Cultural differences

Today in the cab ride home, post people's palace, post necropolis, post cathedral, post cooking dinner, post playing card games, we started talking about fluff.

Fluff the spread is apparently an american phenomenon, which doesn't exist in australia. So we were talking about it and here is the conversation:

"so what do you call fats"
"fats?"
"fats....like passing gas"
"what?"
"like when a little kid fats their mom might say, 'did you just fluff?"
i am too overcome with laughter to even speak.
they become more and more urgent "just spell it!" "just give us the first letter"
i am still speechless with laughter
finally, in tears "oh, it's just a fart"
they are disappointed.

my camera battery ran out of power. pictures of today tomorrow.
