Good Morning. Take a minute to remember someone that made you laugh
They say laughter is the best medicine, right? Take a minute to remember someone who made you laugh and give us the back story. Doesn't have to be elaborate or detailed. It's just meant to warm your heart today.
****************
Well, they call me a SME (subject matter expert) and we have a bunch of 20 year olds in the next suite working on big projects as part of the traveling team. They come in the office maybe once a month for a week.
I had to laugh...2 of the highly spirited girls come bouncing into my cube one morning, bow low and say, "Master Yoda, we are your young Jedi and here to drain your brain." Yikes! I think the lady in the next cube over sprayed coffee through her nose and was mopping up her computer all morning. Those young folks are priceless!

Now that had me giggling too, I like that one and will probably use it in the future HEHE...
In order to NOT go into too much detail and make everyone cry, the one I could always turn to for a great laugh was my late step father.
He was there no matter what and even when I had my heart broken he took me fishing and did all he could to make me feel better.
There are 2 that stick in my mind, I will share both! My mother (may she rest in peace) was the MOST gullable person I have ever known! He had her convinced one year that the reason you do not kill a praying mantis is because they were equipped with a tracking device! He got her close to the insect, it was on the other side of the window, and had her looking at the thing with a magnifying glass and had her believing that it was there, she said she SAW it! We all ROLLED!!!
Another one, is the old baby ruth in the toilet trick. We all know a baby ruth looks like a piece of crap, he called her from another room to look at it and when she would not come, he wrapped it in toilet paper and brought it in the living room. (Larry) " Hun look at this, it has the peanuts in it I ate last night"(Mom) " Oh gross Larry I dont want to see that, its disgusting" (Me) " Let me see it" and I took a bite! Mom screamed bloody blue murder and I fell on the floor laughing my ARSE off!!! IT was classic!
I really wish both were alive today, I miss my Mom everyday and miss him too, he was always good for a decent laugh!

Gosh I must be some kind of humorless person cuz nobody ever makes jokes around me. Part of it is i cant HEAR and the other part is i cant COMPRHEND .... sad isnt it ...
Ok heres one ... Robin Williams ( yes " the " Robin Williams ) gave me a flower on the street corner in Greenwich Village .... then he came back and gave me a quarter .... ( all as I was waiting to cross the street) ... then he came back and gave me some little something else ...
this doesnt sound very funny .. but the way he did it with mime and so forth was SO cute .... and unforgettable.
What I really liked about it was he didnt make me feel EMBARASSED at all ... he was very sensitive to that ...
I love SPONTANEOUS humor .. and sensitive humor and humor tied to the place and person .. very few people ( even comedians ) are creative enough to pull that off though and actually be funny ...

Love this topic and LOVE to laugh. We joke that our household is a bad comedy and sometimes it is like living in a cartoon!
My now 7 year old was 4 at the time. He had a stroke in the NICU when he was a preemie and has aspergers, so speech was VERY slow to come and he loved gameshows! So, he would be a parrot when he would watch commercials, etc and a lot of the commercials during the game shows are the crazy products, etc...
So, Dylan had fallen and gotten hurt and then he was standing on my counter going through the cabinate. I asked him "Dylan, what are you doing up there?" and his response was " I have arthritis pain and I need my Activon!!", LOL! I was hysterical over this!!
Another time I was reading him a story before bed and he was rubbing my leg. Mind you I don't shave that often in the winter time, so it was a bit scratchy. Dylan says to me "Oh Mom! You have that itchy skin. You need that Sarna!" LOL! Again, thank you game show commercials!
