So much of what we read on here is stressful so this post is for those moments when you just gotta laugh! :D

Today, before lunch my mom was in the bathroom and I went in to help her. I asked her if she "had a poop." She said "do I want some soup?" When I told her what I said, we both started laughing so hard I thought I was going to wet MY pants!

When she tells me she can't walk to the bathroom with her walker, I start singing "Over hill, over dale as we hit the dusty trail" and she chimes in "as the cassons (spelling?) go rolling along." We spend a lot of the day having impromptu sing alongs.

I put out some bird feeders outside the dining room window and so far no birds but we enjoy watching the squirrel's antics. He's a hoot!

Why not post something fun, funny or kooky that made you laugh. I know there must be something...:)

Hey Julie -

I agree - laughter is about the only thing (besides prayer) that keeps me going. The other day at lunch, I asked my mom if she wanted coffee, tea or water to drink. She said coffeeteacoffeeteacoffeeteawaterwaterwater - so I gave her water and she said it was just what she wanted.

Take care - Lira

Ok - just fed my mom some crackers and peanut butter (can't stand to watch). When I came back into the room, the entire sleeve of crackers was in the peanut butter jar.... 8-| ---that's me in glasses and a straight mouth - not quite a smile-

I have noticed than when my mother laughs a lot she is much better physically. She doesn't complain about her pains as much. Laughing is supposed to produce beta endorphins in the brain which make you feel better.

Tonight we were playing cards (Go Fish!) with my partner, Richard. He had won two games so I stuck my tongue out at him so Mom did, too! I told her if he won the next game we would have to "flip him the bird" indicating to her what I meant. She laughed her head off!

Later we watched the film "Gease." We have closed captioning on for her since she is hard of hearing. There is the line about "did she have bigger jugs than Annette" with the response being "no one has bigger jugs than Annette." She found that to be quite hilarious, too. Of course she often reads the closed captioning outloud!

My mother given name is Emma - which she never liked. She goes by Emily. I tell her "Knock, knock." She says, "Whose there?" (we've worked on this) and I say "Emma". She says "Emma, who?" "Emma going have trouble with you?" This never fails to get her giggling.

And today the squirrel was hanging upside down trying to break into the bird feeders.

When I was a kid, my Dad always told us funny sayings. I think he learned these from his Dad:

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

The lady in the river had a sliver in her liver
