Laugh hard

be individual :)

how my son must’ve heard it when really little, because this is how he sings it now:

baa baa black sheep any any wool
yes so yes so free bags full

one for the little boy who lives down the drain
one for the little boy who lives down the drain
one for the little boy who lives down the drain

baa baa black sheep any any wool
yes so yes so free bags full

How can there only be seven people who want to LAUGH HARD????

Well, maybe this goal has not been “out there” very long, or people opt for the related ones like “laugh til I cry” or “laugh til I pee” – I’d rather not wet myself, but when one laughs HARD, one is likely to lose control of a few glands here and there, ya reckon?

ANYhooo, I am a FIRM believer in the medicinal – i.e., HEALTH – benefits of uproarious laughter. I think all of us should be intentional about laughing as often, as hard and as long as possible EVERY DAY!

Now, since I have often laughed hard in my life – not every day, but A LOT, OK? – I guess according to the protocol of this site I should click on the “I have done this” button. But if I do that, I lose the ability to keep this goal always before me.

I mean, this is not a goal that one accomplishes one time, then moves on. This is a DAILY goal. It is renewed every morning.

So, I’ll just keep it here as a reminder to LAUGH HARD!!!!

If all else fails, try the old standard of trying to say “toy boat” over and over really fast. That one usually works pretty well, especially if you have an audience.

I got these in an email. I’ve read many bushisms, but these are so simple they really made me laugh!

Had a great laugh last night: my son told me that he had learned in class that Washington’s teeth were actually NOT wooden, but were tusks.. he thought he walked around with big tusks hanging out of his mouth. i explained to him that his teacher meant they were made of ivory which was made of tusks, but only after both of us laughed hard and long at the thought of poor George Washington trying to lead his young country looking like a walrus.

When I laugh as hard as I can, I generally don’t make any noise, and they tell me my face turns red. Once someone told me that hearing me laugh made them want to laugh too, which I consider a great compliment. Anyway, laughing is good for you, so…do this goal as often as possible!

Had a great huge laugh yesterday with friends. My neighbor Charles’ story about Big Sur, driving real fast, a squirrel, eye contact…. Well… I guess you had to be there.
