We are a goofy household. I have never been a class clown, but making people laugh and lightening a stressful day can do wonders. One of the things I do is word of the moment. Some word that strikes me as funny will be repeated until I get a smile out of people. I never write them down, but "dingalam"was among them.
It came from Engineers technical terms:

Spouse will sometimes start with eye rolls of the here we go again variety, but eventually I'll mime it until she bursts into laughter.
Another is stupid human pet tricks. There was recently a thread on how people injure themselves slightly doing really mundane inane things. My claim to glory was tugging at bedsheets (it was my turn), when it came off with a snap and I smacked myself in the forehead. It struck me as impossibly funny. I hurt myself making the bed is not something one hears everyday.
Anything you do that makes those around you laugh? Any stupid ways you meet the challenges of the mundane?
I doubt it makes anyone else laugh but in my Thursday night yoga class she always has us do balance, usually the tree. My balance is better on my right leg than the left and some evenings I just cannot attain balance on my left leg, It makes me giggle, not today. I think it does amuse the instructor.
ReplyDeleteCodex: unintentionally funny. Would make me giggle as well. Then again, I get really bad giggles when I'm sleep deprived.
