What makes you laugh?
I am like the laughing guy who floats to the ceiling in Mary Poppins. I love to laugh. I would rather laugh even when I am very sad and I usually do come up with some morbidly funny lines. Laughing hurts a lot less than crying does and it really does lift my spirits. I can remember making jokes during times of financial and other personal disasters. It didn?t make the problems go away but it did relieve the stress for a little while.
Babies can make me laugh. They have the funniest expressions when they?re newly born. I held Little T not so long ago. He makes the most adorable gurgling sounds and I can?t help but smile at the changes in his facial expressions. It will be even more fun when he is older and he begins to mimic our expressions. I remember sticking my tongue out at Kristin when she was an infant and she learned how to do it back almost immediately.
I also laugh at dog and cat antics. My cats entertain me every morning. Some mornings, they play some sort of tag. One chases the other up and down the stairs, around the family room and down the hall to the living room and back again. Sometimes one has enough of a lead to hide and then springs out at the other. They roll on the floor wrestling. It?s fun to watch them wrestle, too, but I often think it?s not in fun. They clutch at each other and kick each other with sharp back nails. One will go for the other?s throat. Luckily they always stop before it gets too violent.
I laugh at some of the things TB says or does. Sometimes he says something really lame and I?ll give him a hard time about it. ;) Most of the time, though, he is very cute and I appreciate his humor.
I laugh at funny scenes on TV or in movies. Sometimes I love slapstick but not always. I really like irony in humor.
Tomorrow when I look out the window and see no snow, I will laugh at the silly forecasters. On the other hand, if we really do have a foot of snow out there I will laugh at how silly it is to have snow a day before the first day of spring!
