Laughter

I was watching the Lifetime Intimate Protraits of all 4 Golden Girls last night, I know get a life right. It was like 2 1/2 hours long, I was a happy camper, Jason was at a basketball game that's how I got away with it :) Anyways, one line struck me on the one about Estelle Getty aka Sophia, she said that her favorite noise was laughter. I must admit that I would agree, I love to hear people laugh and I love to see people smile. I often think of my late great-granma's laugh. It is still pretty clear in my mind, her laugh was contagious that is for sure. I think of my favorite story she ever told. She was talking about tattoos and piercings and was just perplexed as to why anyone would ever do this to themselves. Well, of course she knew all the answers and told me that the only reason someone would get a piercing or a tattoo was to punish themselves for some wrong that they had done in their life to try and make up for it. She said there was no other explanation than that. Well bear with me, that is not the funny part. The thing that I still remember and still laugh about on occassion was why she said that she should get a tattoo or a piercing to make up for something she had done. Well she proceeded to talk about when she was cleaning out one of her birds cages and she was sweeping out the feathers and oops, she accidently sucked up her poor little bird and she never saw him again, so she thought she should make things right and tattoo or pierce herself. Well she was ultimately kidding, but it sure was funny hearing her tell that story. When I think about laughter I also think about this home video that I saw on America's Funniest Home Video awhile back. There was a mother with triplets lying on her bed, the mother would chuckle a little bit and then all the babies would just start cracking up, you would have to see it, but I couldn't quit laughing and I still think of that one sometimes wishing I had it on video so when I was in need of a laugh I could pop it in. Anyways, the point of my post is I guess that we all like to laugh and we have all heard good stories that makes us laugh a little harder and some stories that make you almost pee yourself. Think of those and those that told you these stories, pass them along because if you think they are funny, chances are someone else will as well. Have an awesome Wednesday!
