One woman is breaking down exactly what happened on a date that did not go as expected

 

In a viral TikTok video, which has garnered more than 9.4 million views, Sophia Panella explains how on a date with her now-fiancé, she realized something was wrong.

 

"We got sandwiches from one of our favorite local spots, and we were going to watch the sunset with blankets in the back of the car. The sun was setting, and we started eating. I felt completely fine, and my stomach was not upset," Panella told PEOPLE Magazine.

 

Panella describes how this was the 10th date they were going on together, and she felt well leading up to it. However, "I take one bite of my sandwich and let a little toot out. I didn't think anything of it. Then all of a sudden, it felt off. I moved, and then I knew. In my head, I'm thinking I just pooped my pants, so I do a little sniff test."

 

" 'Oh my God,' I said out loud, 'I just pooped my pants.' He's laughing and says, 'No, you didn't,' " she adds.

 

"I got out of the car. I was in a one-piece camo jumpsuit, so it was all trapped in there. I ripped the whole thing off on the side of the road because I was not gonna sit in my own poop."

 

Panella admits she freaked out when she fully realized what was happening. Thankfully, her now-fiancé is a first responder and has seen much worse. He sprung into action and used blankets to cover her up. He took his response cues from Panella: when she was silent, he was silent; when she laughed, he laughed. Panella called her mom and told her what happened, then drove home to shower and get clean. The date ended, and she picked up the nickname "poopy butt" from her friends and family.

 

As for her date, he clearly wasn't deterred by this embarrassing moment. Panella applauded him for how he responded, appreciating how he wasn't scared away and didn't make fun of her when it was happening.

 

"I said, 'You're stuck with me now, this is it. This is forever.' Now we're happily engaged six-and-a-half years later," she shares.

 

"Anytime I say, 'My stomach is upset' he'll respond, 'Okay, poopy butt.' It's just one of those things we have, and even now, I call him that sometimes too," she adds.

 

The two of them can laugh about the incident now. "It's an inside joke with us now, too. I'll say, 'Hey, remember when I pooped my pants on a date?' He'll say, 'I'll never forget that.' "

 

Panella says they even plan to incorporate what she calls the "toot heard 'round the world" as a part of a story for their wedding. "If anyone will say anything, it will probably be my mom," she adds.

MOM DEFENDS REUSABLE TOILET PAPER AS CLEAN AND BUDGET-FRIENDLY HACK

Mom defends reusable toilet paper as ‘budget-friendly’ hack — and even calls it ‘clean’

A mother’s budget-friendly hack is kicking up quite the stink online.

 

A woman who goes by the name Jazmine online set up her camera to show how her family of six share reusable clothes instead of traditional toilet paper.

 

“It’s really actually more common than you would think,” she claims.

 

“They’re clean”

 

While restocking the wicker basket that she stores on the top of the bathroom lid, she busted common myths about the sustainable practice on TikTok.

 

“There’s a lot of people asking if we use the same one and technically yes, but not at the same time. We wash them. You use one and you put it in the dirty bin,” she explained.

 

“Technically everyone is still going to use it, but they’re clean. It’s like a clean towel.”

 

Her explanation of the process has left little room for any doubt.

 

“You bidet first, you pat dry, and it goes in the bin,” she detailed.

 

She also called out the naysayers. 

 

“It’s not dirty. It’s just what people want to call it, because they’re not familiar with it,” she defended.

 

Recently, the family went through more towels than usual, which meant two loads of laundry.

 

The culprit.

 

Taco Bell.

 

“It really did not settle well. So everybody was fighting over the reusable toilet paper,” she said.

 

“As a family of six, it can be quite difficult to keep it going, but we have a lot. I like to keep it stocked.”

 

In her opinion, there’s zero difference between wiping with a cloth and using a towel after a shower.

 

“It’s been such a game changer. You’re so much cleaner when you use a bidet,” she said. 

 

The comment section was rattled to say the least.

 

“The sigh of relief at the word bidet,” one joked.

 

“I’m all for saving money but that’s where I’d draw the line,” another argued.

 

“The way my mouth immediately closed when you said bidet and then immediately opened when you said Taco Bell. This was an emotional rollercoaster,” a third added. 

 

But what if nature calls for more than one towel?

 

Well, the mom has a mess-free solution, keeping a large towel beneath the smaller towels.

 

“I forbid using more than one towel at one use. If you’re really having tummy problems you get to use the big towel,” she explained.
