I have an embarrassing problem. It creeps up at the most inopportune times. It also strikes from the comfort of my MacBook. Some of my other family members also deal with this difficulty and are embarrassed by it often.
What's my problem?
My inability to hold it together when another person falls down in my vicinity.
People falling down is the number one more hilarious thing to me. When it happens, I can not control myself. There have been times when someone falls down and may actually hurt themselves and I can't help but giggle. I'm not talking a little giggle under your breath, I'm talking full out hold your belly, can't breathe, rolling on the floor laughter. I have been embarrassed by this many times in situations where it is completely inappropriate for me to have a laughing fit but I just can't help it.
A few weeks ago I attended a comedy show at the famous Comedy Store on Sunset Blvd. There were about 20 comics to perform. The most memorable moment of the night? When a random audience member bit it behind me and the entire crown turned around to see her flat on her face. I am laughing right now as I think about this moment of hilarity.
This problem that I have becomes even more a issue when I mention that I am one of the clumsiest people I have ever met. I have no balance and I trip over my own feet quite often. You'd think I would have sympathy for people falling around me but consequently, I don't. I'm the one pointing and laughing in the corner.
This video on YouTube reminds me of myself when I see someone fall:

It's so hard to type through the tears streaming down my face while watching that video - ha ha ha! I'm posting anonymously so no one knows that this runs in your family.
ReplyDeleteThere is another version of that video, where you can see that she actually has water in that stupid pail of hers and it splashes out when she bites it the second time. That one sends me completely over the edge!
ReplyDeleteI really needed a laugh today and I'm so glad I have such funny family members. I didn't have to go very far to get it.
