  • Contagious Laughter

    My mom is one of those people...the ones who have such an infectious laugh that though you have no idea what is so funny, you just bust a gut right along with them.
    So here's why we had the morning chuckle-a-thon: We're doing chores and my mom is doing her morning routine of sewing and listening to an audio book or panel discussions/teaching tapes and we hear her machine whizzing away....and then suddenly we hear her madly cackling and hooting and we run in to get in on the action. When she can catch her breath sufficiently, she gasps out between mirthful chortles that the cd she was listening to had gotten stuck where the deep, manly voice says "he". So it was saying,"he-he-he-he" in this rather doleful sounding giggle. Well, that just tickled her and set her off. She couldn't reach the cd player easily to stop it, so this crazed male te-heing just kept on and she was helplessly laughing. After she related all of this, we were also laughing. I love my Mom's helpless laughter. She's the best!
