[quote=Anonymous]There is an elderly relative attending. He's family so we love him. In our family, we're not super formal, but we all have good manners, dress up for special occasions, etc.  In our family, toddlers are taught to say "scusi" when they break wind in public.

Last night, at a 2 hour seder, our elderly relative began a musical accompaniment right after the four questions, and just continued tooting all the way through past the afikomen. It was almost like punctuation. The 7 yr old giggled. The 22 yr old giggled. The 3 yr old announced scusi each time he heard it. At one point, someone suggested we all pause for a bathroom break for anyone who needed it. Everyone looked at him. He looked around blankly. The  7 yr old flat out told him "The bathroom off the  kitchen is free now, if you want to use it," and he just smiled and said he was fine. And kept on tooting.

It wasn't the food, because he began expelling before we even ate. Plus nobody else was doing this. Please send us your best wishes, both that we get through tonight and that we don't turn into someone who does this. Of all the problems I potentially saw happening at last night's seder (accidentally double-dipping, knocking over a glass of red wine) I never could have imagined dealing with this. [/quote]
