This Teacher Is Going Viral For Her Brilliant Way To Handle Students Who Need To Fart

Posted 37 minutes ago

There are few things in life more humbling than accidentally turning your butt into a musical instrument in front of other people.

Especially when you’re a kid in a classroom full of other kids just waiting to turn your innocent little toot into a social death sentence. That said, one thing that may have changed since our childhood is the way some teachers openly talk about bodily functions.

And one first-grade teacher named Candy (who goes by @chokola___ on TikTok), has caught the attention of over 3 million people with the brilliant way she creates a safe, shame-free space for students to fart in her classroom.

In her viral TikTok, you can hear a student ask her, "Where's the gas station gonna be this year?"

Candy starts to respond, “You gotta pass ga— I do have to…” but before she can finish her thought, the student, who is clearly in a losing battle with their behind, states the facts, “I GOTTA PASS GAS.”

Realizing this probably needs to be at the top of her priority list as the new school year gets underway, she tells the kid, “Okay, I do have to create a new gas station for this new room.”

Thinking on her feet, she tells the student, "Just go...step outside just real quick. Please."

After a deep sigh, Candy and the entire class completely lose it because, at the end of the day, farting in a classroom full of first-graders is top-tier comedy.

She then gets to work making her classroom ready for all of the incoming farts that will enter her room this year.

"And I looped up with my kids this year, so they're sitting here asking me, 'Where's the gas station?'" she says as she cuts the sign she printed.

Proudly displaying it to the camera, she says, "Look no further. It's here."

And, just like that, the GUSTY WINDS AREA is underway.

Next, Candy films herself in a specific area of her classroom and places her sign on the wall. "I'll put this little bad boy right here."

And because every good "gas station" needs something to keep the air fresh, Candy holds up a bottle of Febreze and adds, "Oh, and you know I'm gonna need some of these, right?"

"I go through these, so I'm kindly asking Febreze: If you ever wanna sponsor somebody, sponsor me, please. This is my favorite scent right here...'cause I'm gonna need it. Thank you, kindly," she concludes in her TikTok.

So, while the curiosity about what a "gas station" in a classroom meant is what initially hooked people...

...the way Candy destigmatized a very sensitive topic for some kids is what kept people engaged:

And many even have ideas for additions to her gas station:

At the end of the day, we love teachers like Candy!!! If you want to get something off of the Amazon wishlist for her classroom, you can do so here. And give her a follow on TikTok!
