Sometimes you don’t even know how badly you need a laugh until you get a good laugh in and end up feeling all refreshed and rejuvenated. That’s what happened to me today when my husband forwarded me an email he got from Netflix that addressed him as Papa Farts.
The exact subject line of the email reads: “What’s playing next, Papa Farts?” The body of the email is your standard fare of suggestions from Netflix on what to watch. But why would they call him Papa Farts? Is it because he is a papa who farts regularly and Netflix just knows that about him? Nope, it’s because of me and an ongoing Netflix-related family joke.
I’m not sure who started it, but someone in our family began changing the Netflix profile pictures for each of us to profile pictures we definitely would not choose for ourselves. It was an instant hit and we all joined in on the practice. That means that pretty much every time we go to our Netflix profile, we never know what our profile pic is going to be.

Recently, I decided I would start to change the profile names too and currently my husband’s profile name is Papa Farts because he’s a papa and he’s been farting a lot. I thought it was hilarious and was waiting for him to notice, but he never said anything until he got an email from Netflix calling him Papa Farts.
That’s when he sent me the following email:
You guys, I instantly started laughing and could not stop.
It was one of those belly laughs that gets out of control and even if you want to stop, you just can’t. Your stomach starts to hurt from so much laughing and you do your best to calm down and as soon as you calm down a tiny bit, it just comes back stronger.
Boy did I need that laugh. So, thank you, Netflix. Thank you for calling my husband Papa Farts in an email. I had no idea that you would send him an email using his profile name.
Hilarious! I needed a good laugh too. Thanks!
