... out loud. No stifling that giggle or guffaw in the movie theater or even church (well, you don't want to guffaw in church, but I'm sure a respectful chuckle is authorized).
My seven-year-old lives this verb: at a movie theater last week he was having himself a good old time, not at all reserved with his chortles and tee-hees. I almost hushed him and then realized, "Hey, he's having a great time--maybe he's on to something!"
Gabe loves it when I laugh at something he does. The other day, he said something funny, I laughed, and he said smiling, "Hey, that was a real laugh!" I guess I need to let him be funny more!
I'll admit it. I have stayed up until 2 a.m. watching LOST, season 3--taking a break to snarf some Goo-goo Cluster ice cream. I've also run a relay marathon with my four sisters. Through it all, I have a few priority verbs: wife, mom, writer. Not verbs? They sure feel like it.

ReplyDeleteIt's true! Laughing is a gift of sorts.
