I (36M) was driving my nephew (16M) to school because his parents were sick. He’s a decent enough kid. The only thing that‘s a little tiring is that he really wants to be an influencer. I hold influencers in the same regard as people who participate in MLM scams (pyramid schemes).

He’s making a video for his something, it might be a live stream or for TikTok (I’m not a big social media guy), and he’s talking about his feelings or whatever. I‘m not paying a ton of attention to him because I’m driving, after all.

When we were waiting at a light, he asks me if I ever hide how I feel. I’m laughing on the inside because of course I do. I don’t pop off on my boss when he gives me a stupid task or I don’t get annoyed at rude waiters. I can’t always express how I feel, there had to be a filter.

So I tell him that sometimes I hold something back and it pains me. When I hold back, I can literally feel the pain in my stomach. After that, I just let out a large fart, it was something out of Adam Sandler movie. I just couldn’t stop laughing. Farts are funny. They are.

He told me that was extremely rude and uncalled for and it ruined whatever he was doing. I just said ok and continued to drive as we were just about at the school anyway. AITA for making a joke?
