Laughter… (Photo credit: leodelrosa…)

I love love to laugh!
It really is one of the greatest things in the world. I’m the type of person when something really tickles my funny bone, I laugh hard and full and a bit hysterically. I absolutely enjoy it… although my face turns incredibly red and I tend not to be able to breathe for minutes… But it truly is one of the greatest things around and the simplest things make me happy and I’m constantly finding reasons to laugh.
Not to mention all the health related studies that actually tell us that Laughter is good for more than our souls, it’s fantastic for our bodies, minds and hearts too! We feel better because it burns calories and releases endorphins throughout our systems – and who doesn’t love a good endorphin release right?
Today’s reason was I got this funny little Kindle Book full of funny text messages. I nearly died just imagining the responses….
40 people did not respond. 😦 I’m sure they just didn’t know how to react! I mean after all what would you think if you got a random text in the middle of a Wednesday from a friend claiming that they just found out that Elvis was dead?! After all it is 2012… he died in 1977! Despite the rumors, beliefs and myths that he’s simply in hiding…
The one text message I sent out was:
“I just realized Elvis died…. I’m very upset over this and don’t feel so great… How are you handling it?”
Here are some of how the conversations went:
- My Mother simply called me back, “Jennifer, Elvis died before you were born. What are you talking about? Did you name one of your fish Elvis?”
- Rick, “Um yes, I knew. For as long as I can remember. You really didn’t know that?”
- Don’t forget Monte’s Jen, homeboy died before we were even born!
Oh my goodness! I don’t remember the last time I laughed SO hard!!!
I haven’t laughed THAT hard in months! I just kept laughing and hyperventilating, teared up from laughing so hard! What a great mid-day break!
Warning to other friends… don’t be surprised when you receive a funny, very random text!
