This may seem like a silly thing to say, because I assume most people like laughter. Unless you’re evil. Or a librarian. But for me, laughter has always been an integral part of my life. In baseball you “walk it off,” in my game of life you “laugh it off.” As a child, the second my head banged against the ceiling while on my dad’s shoulders, I was taught to just laugh. As a camp counselor, when a chubby camper finally finished assembling all of her rollerblade safety gear just to fall completely flat on her face, I of course laughed at… I mean, with (well, I tried to show blubber the humor) her. My happiest moments in life, involve laughter. As I mentioned in a previous post, sometimes I would laugh so hard I would pee my pants (past the age where it was considered acceptable social behavior). You’ve heard of tears of joy? Well, I had pee of joy. And with my best friends from high school, we’ll remark about how often we laugh when we are together. At least 6,000 giggles a day.
