Laughter with Friends

Today’s self-love challenge is an addition to the "day 3" challenge – laughter. Today’s challenge asks that you actually invite family and/or friends to laugh together. Each person can share a joke, show a video or tell a funny story. If you can’t meet anyone in person, maybe you could exchange jokes on the phone or via Skype.

My little sister and I always find things to laugh about and sometimes we just remind each other of old stories. A few years ago when she was visiting, we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant by my house. When it came time for dessert, we decided to try mochi ice cream. Neither of us had ever tried it before and we ordered the green tea flavor. After we ordered it and before it came, I told her “I don’t really like green tea.” And she replied “neither do I”. Both of us started laughing non-stop. The mochi ice cream came, we ate it and actually loved it, but we couldn’t stop laughing. Even the waiter approached us trying to figure out what was happening. Every time we think of this story we start laughing again. It was pretty funny, at least for us. By the way, I do like green tea now.

Here is a cartoon by Liza Donnelly that always makes me laugh: It is one of the cartoons in her book, When Do They Serve the Wine, an excellent book that I highly recommend. She is also launching a book called “Women on Men”, visit her website to learn more about Liza Donnelly, her books and to enjoy her cartoons.
