What makes you laugh?

Me giggling

I tend to go between being serious, melancholy, studious and chill and then at times I can be extremely silly, super smiley, playful, and a jokester. It really just depends on my mood, as to what makes me laugh. Some days I tend to be rather sarcastic. I may laugh at inappropriate times, when I am feeling sarcastic. My husband says I laugh at disabled people, but in my defense I don’t take light of their afflictions! It’s just I seem to be around when they may do an action with a particular expression and I loose my control. I laugh. There I said it.

Laughter truly is a relief to the daily stress. I enjoy the funny videos on social media as well, the ones about family dynamics and relationships. I love to see how other people interact with each other, in various scenarios. I am a a people watcher. My older three children are teens, so I use those funny videos as a way to connect with them. It brings us together, all of us huddled over a phone laughing hysterically.

In this particular photo, we were at Disney exploring the Star Wars portion. My husband was trying on a Storm Trooper mask, it had a voice changer and I found it ridiculous. My husband was seriously debating on buying it and I thought it was silly but hey, to each his own. My one year old daughter actually captured this photo accidentally and we thought it was a good one. Off guard photos are usually better, no awkward posing! I suppose my family makes me laugh the most! When you have five kids, there is a lot of moments for laughter.

That’s me and my little photo taker before she could do much!

That’s just who we are we laugh at each other, tease and make a lot of jokes. My daddy’s side of the family is very outspoken and we love to tell stories. We gather together and it’s extremely loud and chaotic, everyone is talking all at once. “We laugh to keep for crying” as my daddy always says. We make light of things because sometimes there is pain there. In my family, we often suppress our pain but when we gather and just laugh it makes it easier.

Me and my thirteen year old, Jayce

This kid makes me laugh, he is very funny by nature. He tells jokes and likes to be silly at all the wrong times. Jayce has a way of telling jokes, and cannot for the life of him suppress his laughter! He is the person that will giggle in a funeral. Do not sit next to him! I can be yelling at him about something and he will start laughing, it drives me insane. However he has made me laugh when I need it and made a hard day better. He is a sweet boy and I am so grateful to have him!

Welp that’s my spill for today, I hope y’all are having a great day! If you aren’t remember that it’s just a season and it will pass! Happy Reading! Blessing to you all!

All photos are mine.

    This post feels like warm soup on a cold day. Not fancy, just real—and it fills something deeper than the stomach.

    You showed that laughter is not just sound. It’s medicine. Sometimes a shield. Sometimes a bandage. It doesn’t always fix things, but it helps us walk through the mess without losing ourselves.

    Your family sounds like a team of quiet warriors, using humor like a flashlight in a dark tunnel. And your son Jayce—he’s proof that wisdom can wear a funny hat.
