A Relaxing Story

Once upon a time Bert and Ernie were lying in bed as stars twinkled across a cool night sky. “Hey Bert?” said Ernie.

“Yeah Ernie?” said Bert.

Ernie rolled over to face Bert. “Wanna give me some ASMR?”

“Some what?”

“You know, ASMR. It’ll help me relax,” said Ernie.

“What’s that?” asked Bert.

“Just rub my back and blow in my ear. Stuff like that,” said Ernie.

“I’m not gonna do that,” said Bert.

“If you do I’m sure Rubber Ducky can think of something special to give you,” said Ernie.

Bert shook his head and lay there quietly.

“Hey Bert?” said Ernie.

“What Ernie? What is it?” said Bert.

“Would you at least fart for me? A really nice one?”

“Fine.” Bert grunted and a rumbling fart fluttered the sheets.

Ernie breathed in deeply then sighed. “Thank you.” A small squeak came from beneath the sheets. “Rubber Ducky thanks you too,” he said.
