"All That I'm After is A Life Full Of Laughter"

Laughing is one of the best ways to reduce stress. I love a good laugh. I remember when I was younger, my best friend at the time, Emily Wilkerson and I could sit and laugh for hours on end. No joke. Something funny would happen and she would giggle, and then I would giggle. Then we would laugh for about five minutes absolutely rolling on the ground. Then we would stop long enough to barely catch our breath and the next thing you knew we were giggling again. The littlest thing made us laugh, but what really got us going is when my dad would sneak out the front door and come and bang on my window, or he would randomly pop into my room. That led to us being chased around the house screaming our heads off, or trying to lock ourselves in a room. He would jump over the couch or chase us around the dining room table; anything to make us scream. It worked. When he finally captured us, and he always did, he would tickle us till we begged for mercy. We would laugh till we cried or almost wet ourselves. He didn't even have to actually tickle us to get us to scream; he could just act like he was going to start. If the words, "Goochy Goochy goo" came out of his mouth it was followed by a LOUD scream. When we could finally could get settled down, we would sit and giggle about what had just happened. This didn't happen on just one or two occasions; it was every time she was over, which was quite frequently.
I also like to listen to peoples laughs. Everyone is different. There are the guys with the deep laughs or the girls with the giggles; and then you have the people with the hilariously outrageous laughs. One of my all time favorite laughs to hear comes from the one and only Dylan Baker. He is one of my best friends and we have gone to church camp together for years. He just graduated from Greenwood High and is now going to WKU. I do everything in my power to make this kid laugh when I see him. When he laughs, I automatically start laughing. Picture this: a football player that is shorter and built. When he laughs it seems to come from deep inside of him. I wish there were words to explain this totally contagious laugh. Every time it is three huah huah huahs. Unless its really funny and then its a bunch of huah huah huahs. There is no one that can remake the Baker laugh. I also like it when people laugh and then it is followed by a long drawn out sigh. My aunt does it every time she laughs. There was also a girl on my bus that laughed that way and we would get in trouble because every time she finished a laugh everyone else would bust out laughing.
Laughing together really does bring you closer to people. I love laughing and I love laughing with my friends and family. Laughing is hilarious and relieves stress you might not know you had. So hang out and laugh it up!
