An elderly couple had just settled into bed when the old man let out a loud fart and proudly declared, “Seven points!”

His wife, puzzled, rolled over and asked, “What are you talking about?”

“Football,” he replied. “That was a touchdown!”

Not wanting to be left out, his wife waited a few moments, then let out a fart of her own and announced, “Touchdown! Tie game!”

After a brief pause, the old man fired off another one and boasted, “Aha! 14 to 7—I’m back in the lead!”

Giggling, his wife responded with a little toot and said, “Extra point! We’re tied again!”

The night continued with playful back-and-forth, each sound marking a new score, until both were laughing too hard to keep count.

Their lighthearted competition turned bedtime into their favorite game—a silly tradition that proved love, humor, and a little mischief keep the spark alive, no matter how many seasons pass.
