Little Johnny kept disrupting his third grade class by regularly letting out loud farts. His teacher kept him after school. When she insisted on knowing why he exhibited such offensive behavior

Mrs. Thompson sighed, taking a seat at her desk and motioning for Johnny to join her. “I understand that accidents happen, Johnny, but this has been going on for weeks now. It’s disrupting the entire class.”

Johnny hung his head, feeling ashamed of his inability to control his bodily functions. “I try to hold it in, but sometimes it just comes out,” he admitted quietly.

Mrs. Thompson studied him for a moment, her expression softening. “Is there something going on, Johnny? Are you feeling unwell?”

Johnny shook his head. “No, I feel fine. It’s just… I don’t know why it happens.”

Mrs. Thompson sighed again, reaching out to place a comforting hand on Johnny’s shoulder. “Well, let’s see if we can figure it out together, okay? I want to help you.”
