The Best Medicine

posted by Momo Fali on September 4, 2013

I have been known, on occasion, to get a serious case of the giggles. My husband says it isn’t so much giggling as it is cackling, but I prefer to think of myself as demure. Mostly because I prefer lies.

A few nights ago, my daughter taped one of my laughing fits. Ironically, I was laughing this hard because she wasn’t laughing. I kept saying, “How can you not think this laughing is hilarious?” Because, clearly, it was. You can’t see me, but you can hear me. You can definitely hear me.

See? Demure.

Because I think a good chuckle is good for the soul I’m sharing some of my recent favorites from Twitter, and by recent I mean from the last year. I’m 42; February was recent. Enjoy.

I hope you cackled.

    Oh shit. the last one. the last one got me. Always wanted to be a writer, but I settle for writing WAY too many emails. 6 years ago, I had a third child. 2 years ago I started graduate school. Last month I began teaching 5th grade. I have MORE HOMEWORK than you can imagine. MORE. Crap I should be doing while I’m happily snorting at your blog. I cackle. Loudly. My husband sounds like a braying hyena. The fact his laugh was louder than mine was a definite selling point when we were dating.

    Hahah your laugh is awesome! I am a creeper and if I could be Ursula from The Little Mermaid, I would totally steal people’s laughs. They’re just so awesome!

    And yours is DEFINITELY not a cackle!
