Today's writing Prompt: Laugh

Last night something struck my husband funny. He was laughing so hard, harder than I have ever heard him laugh. I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard.
When and why was the last time you laughed really hard?

Really, really laughing? Christmas day with the family sitting around, talking, playing parlor games, watching the little ones enjoying their new toys, just being relaxed and sometimes saying something that got on person started laughing, then it caught on and blazed up for a while.

my son and a friend of his were in the back seat of my car. we were discussing pros and cons of being human and/or various kinds of animals. the question came up "what animal would you most like to be?" the usual... wolf, eagle, dog... and then my son announced that what he would really like to be is a water flea.

no.

really.

he explained and it makes really good sense. i'm going to wish for the same thing from now on.

This is so stupid. I read a little blog post from the view point of a 7 month old baby who was convinced that his mother did not need sleep.

At one point he says - "cry for whatever reason you can. Your sleeper tickled your foot. You're too hot, you're too cold - just right. The cat said meow. I know, Mommy tells me 20 times a day."

I almost fell off the couch laughing so hard. As the mother to a 20 month old, 3.5 yr old and 5 yr old, we do animal sounds. A lot. And I can just hear my little toddler going "I know, Mommy tells me ALL the TIME" with an eye roll.

See, stupid? But it just killed me last night! :D

On New Year's Eve I succumbed to potty humor. Yes, Kathy Griffin is crude, rude, and maybe even a dude, but I nearly choked on my champagne laughing at her torturing Anderson Cooper.

1-8-13 One-Minute Writer prompt: Laugh
When and why was the last time you laughed really hard?

After dinner one night my mom, my daughter Lynne and I were playing Rummikub, a numbered tile game requiring intense concentration and quiet. My daughter Lynne started hiccuping. We were so engrossed in the game that we played another round, silently except for intermittent hiccups. When it was Lynne's turn again, she reached for a tile and I abruptly shouted, "Boo!"

My mother was so startled, she raised six inches off her chair. Lynne stopped hiccuping briefly, then started again. Everyone instantly burst into laughter, unable to stop until bellies hurt and tears rolled down our faces. I still laugh when I think about it.

New Year's Eve, spent with 10 grandkids under 10. We were all watching Funniest Home Videos. The kids laughed so hard at people falling off everything that I started laughing at them laughing. Could not stop...it felt good.
