I Knew An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly
Well, she didn’t exactly swallow it, but it did go in and stay in there for a while.
I was in year 9 - 1991. I had the home-science cooking teacher as my home class teacher, so our class “home” was inside the kitchen room. She was a scary kind of teacher, a high-anxiety stress generator.
It was a lazy summer afternoon and the heat was making the class feel very lethargic. I was watching the teacher talk and then i thought i saw a fly go into her mouth. I thought i was imagining things because this teacher didn’t make any “ewe” or “yuck yuck” coughing noises to get the fly out. She continued to talk on as if nothing happened - so i thought i was just imagining things, hallucinating.
Quite a while later (near to a good minute!), I saw the fly come out of her mouth again. At that point, i knew i was not imagining things so i looked over to my friend Tiffany who was sitting on my right. Tiffany had also turned her head towards me at exactly the same time. Both of our faces were communicating,
“Errr…. did you just see a fly come out of her mouth? I thought i was just imagining it when i first saw it go in!”
Both Tiffany & I ended up catching a major case of the silent giggles. We had to remain silent because we were scared of getting into trouble. As we were fighting so hard to keep quiet (which only made it even more funnier), the teacher finally saw the laughter-pain we were in so she thankfully gave us the permission to laugh out loud after that point.

HAHAHAHA! What was that fly doing in her mouth? And she didn’t feel a thing? Wow! That must have been a funny sight LOL! I admire you and your friend’s efforts in stiffling your giggles for so long!

Oh, my, that must have been tickling, even for you. I wonder if the fly found something interesting in there - maybe some left overs from the lunch? *S*
I remember a lot of those silent giggling times in school. and sometimes i was the only one giggling too… and for nothing… *giggles*

Good that she allowed you to laugh in the end then. But didn’t she notice the fly at all?
