Is this a new stage of the relationship?

It is early evening. Boy and Me are laying on the couch together, watching Spanish television (don't ask). Boy's body stiffens as something seems to startle him.

Boy: "Did you hear that?"

Me: "Hear what?"

Boy: lifts head, cocks it to the side "I heard something. You didn't?"

Me: starts to sit up "I didn't hear anything. What was it?"

Boy: "I don't know." pauses "Wait, I heard it again. Listen."

Me: listens intently...

Boy: farts explosively, shaking the couch.

Boy and Me: laugh hysterically.
