What makes you laugh?

This is such a great prompt. There are so many things that make me laugh. Here’s a short list:

  • My dogs look at me.
  • Nothing but junk in my mail box.
  • I wake up just before my alarm goes off in the morning.
  • An obvious scam text in my inbox.
  • My three year old neighbor shouting, “Hi!”
  • A student in a middle school class asking me about life before iPhones.
  • My dog suddenly leaping a foot into the air.
  • The Amazon, Fedex, and Ups man all arrive within five minutes of each other.
  • Most of life is humorous. From the way people dress at Walmart to double lines of cars winding around Chick-fil-A, I find myself chuckling at life.

Most of what happens, most of who I meet, and most of what I deal with in any given day makes me laugh.

It’t all about the way you look at life. You either laugh. Or weep.

  1. That’s such a fantastic perspective! Life really does have a funny way of surprising us with little moments that can bring joy if we’re paying attention. The absurdity of the everyday is what makes life so rich, whether it’s the randomness of the Amazon deliveries arriving at once, or the hilarious innocence of a three year old asking about life before iPhones. It’s the kind of humor that doesn’t need a punchline, just a moment of noticing how strange and wonderful things can be.

    Your list made me smile, especially the part about the scam texts. There’s something almost comforting in their predictability, right? It’s like you can count on them to pop up, and you’re always left wondering if anyone actually falls for them!

    It’s so true that a lot of life is about how we choose to see it. When we embrace the humor in those everyday moments, like your dog leaping into the air or the crowd of cars at Chick-fil-A, it can transform an ordinary day into something much more delightful. I love that you’re able to find humor in everything around you, because in the end, laughter really is one of life’s best tools for handling anything.

    Do you have a particular moment recently that made you laugh out loud? Or something unexpected that brought joy to your day?
