I kinda feel like this might need a separate thread on its own, but I wouldn’t mind talking here either. I’ve talked about my mom here before, and that she’s what many people would call a really good belcher. But I didn’t give any description and after seeing many people going in details here, I said why not. So my mom’s 42 years old, 1.80 meters tall (around 6’0) and weighs 74 kg. (She’s not exactly thin, more like, normal looking I’d say) has brown long hair and green eyes. One weird thing about her, is that (as i mentioned in my previous post) she doesn’t burp around our dad, at all. But once she’s around my brothers and I, or my grandparents, is when she’s letting herself loose. This burping thing seemed to pop up completely out of nowhere, when we were around 14 -16. Till that point, nobody had heard her burping, and growing up as a child, I was under the impression that girls and women are unable to burp… to give you an example of how ladylike she was…
I have many stories to share, but in order to spare you guys from reading an entire novel here, I’ll instead mention a couple of times that stuck in my mind.
One time, a year before the pandemic started, after I was done with my basketball practice, she had come to pick me up from the court, since she always had this strange fear of something happening to me when walking all alone at nighttime. She sat in the stands while I changed in the locker room, and then called up for me and asked me if I was ready to go. I went out the court with her, and we started walking towards her car, in the parking lot. I was the last kid to leave so there was only her car and my coach’s, who was gonna lock the place up before leaving. She asked me if I’m tired and I nodded. We walked in silence for some seconds, before I heard a thunderous belch out of nowhere… Wasn’t super long, around 3 seconds or so, but it was heard throughout the whole parking lot. I immediately looked at her. She looked back at me and turned red, saying she had a La Croix on her way to my practice.
One other time, during summer, she drove me and my brothers to the beach, because the day was scorching. In my country, summers are extremely hot, and she had always been in love with swimming and the beach. We had a nice time, and she drove us back home. When we arrived, she asked which of us wanted to go to bathe first, since we were 4 and we only have one bathroom. My brothers immediately jumped in telling her that they’d be the ones, so I was forced to kinda wait for everybody to have their turn. As my brothers were bathing, my mom and I sat in our balcony. She complained that her throat was dry and asked me if I also wanted a drink from the fridge. I said that I was fine, so she returned with a bottle of Iced Tea. She opened it, and started chugging it straight from the bottle, drinking one gulp after another, till she put the bottle down, wiped her lips, opened her mouth and let out a really long loud belch. Sounding kinda “BGRAAAARP”. I was then like “Mom… can you like… not?” She completely ignored my question and asked “You sure you don’t want any? honestly feels really refreshing with this heat”
I rolled my eyes and sighed. During the time it took my brothers to bathe, she belched once more, right after reaching the middle of the bottle, although that time it was a short, loud, sharp one, half as long as her first. At this point I just went inside cause I felt irritated.
Lastly, it was a relatively recent one. I basically study in university, but it’s in a different city that the one I grew up and my mom lives in, so she often travels here to visit me, check my house, clean around and basically… spend time with me. So this time, 2 months ago, she came and throughout her entire stay, she was cooking me meals, because she knew that I survive off noodles, eggs and takeaways.
She had made ribs, with rice. We were recounting the evens of the day, while eating, till she paused, touched her throat, took a face of discomfort and burped loudly. Sounded kinda like “GRAAAAURP” I took my eyes off my food to look at her, but she just finished her sentence as if nothing happened.
Same day was when I heard her letting out an another socker, during the afternoon. We were sitting in my apartment’s balcony, having a slice of watermelon each. She finished hers before I could, placed it in her plate, and raised her head slightly, before letting out yet another big belch, this one sounding bassier than the one during lunch. She once again didn’t acknowledge it, but this time I decided no to be a hard ass, and I actually told her “good one”.
She said “felt it pressuring my throat for some time now…”
I could write you guys more, but I don’t want to be writing a whole article in one go so… I guess it’ll be better sharing more in the near future instead, if you’re interested.
