Laugh. What was your biggest belly laugh of the year?
There is a certain type of laughter that only my sister and I share with each other. We will find something funny that is inexplicable to others but cracks us up in a big, big way. We have an unspoken connection about this kind of laughter. It tends to happen around family funniness. This was one of these times.
I was spending the weekend at my parent’s house along with my sister. Before I arrived I decided I would love nothing more than to share a big laugh with my mom and my sister.
My mom, my sister and I were in my mom’s dressing room as she was trying on outfits for a party. As she got undressed, my sister and I noticed Mom’s underware looked strange. We couldn’t figure it out and then we realized, she was wearing her underpants sideways. Sideways! How is that even possible?
My sister and I fell to the floor in peels of laughter We laughed so hard we could barely catch our breath. I had tears running down my face. Eventually my mom joined in too. Luckily, she knows how to laugh at herself. In the midst of the cracking up I realized, I got my desire for a family laugh. It was a beautiful thing.
So, I can’t even picture sideways. How did she do that? How does that work? Great laugh!
