I usually laugh when dad's asking a serious question face to face. Can't help myself so it usually looks like I don't care (hmm true), or looks like I'm lying. |

Remember someone being called away from our table in the local for the phone. When she got back , she had her serious face on and I asked her " what's up?". She said her Aunty had died. Of course I said how sorry I was, and she replied that it was ok. I asked when it had happened.... she said "six months ago" !!! I fell off the chair laughing, and every time I see her now, I just can't help creasing up. |

Dear Jean you make me laugh! :)) Yes, Daniel, Mum always told me off for it, think it's nerves!, even when I was told my brother had fallen down a tree, and just missed severing an artery!.. I was at work, and stood laughing. Then, once I stood and watched him back his first car, into the neighbour's garage! ( I'm laughing now!) :) |

:-) I don't think there's much chance of us being undertakers. |

Me neither !! I laugh with nerves, even when an old dear fell over and I couldn't pick her up for laughing...she got a right strop on, but it made me worse!!!! |

I remember as a child, if I was due for a wallop I'd end up laughing, so I got two wallops, one for laughing and one for whatever I'm supposed to have done. Looking back now it was because I was scared. Maybe laughing is the same emotion as crying. Jo. |
