Moments of Laughter

Today is Moments of Laughter Day which leads me to ask, how many moments of laughter do you have with your partner?

My partner, Floss, and I are gigglers.  We can find humour in the daftest of things and when one of us starts laughing it usually sets the other off.  I’m particularly bad, I start laughing but not a loud ‘ha, ha’, I laugh and shake but without any sound at all.  Most people laugh at me laughing!

Some of our best moments of laughter have been in bed.

No, not when you’re thinking, although we have been known to stop mid coitus due to laughing too much.  Our usual bed-time laughter happens when we mis-hear each other just as we’re falling asleep.  I’ll start giggling, he’ll ask why I’m shaking, I’ll try to tell him through my laughter, then he’ll start to laugh too, and we’ll lie there, in the dark giggling away whilst trying to fall asleep.

There is actually something rather nice about falling asleep having giggled in the moments before.

This article shares the health benefits of laughter which include releasing stress and tension, and taking the focus away from anger and guilt.

What moments of laughter can you recall with your partner?

How long ago were those moments of laughter?
