That's Comedy

Last night while playing Pictureka for Family Fun Night Landon and I had this exchange.


Landon: Coughing a lot.
Me: "Why is it that every time you cough I feel a breeze?"
Landon: "Hey Eddie, close that window will ya?"
Me: Chuckling until it turned into a full-on laughing fit of giggles.
Landon: "I feel a bit of pride when I make you laugh like that."

Perhaps you had to be there, but it was so funny. We don't have an Eddie in the house, so Landon's quick response was just so funny. It turned our ho-hum game playing into a laugh fest. Good times.

**Do you think this is funny?
Do your kids try to make you laugh?
Does coughing drive you crazy?**

Coughing drives me insane! INSANE!

Funny Landon!

I do love hearing Jake come up with witty come backs...I think to myself, "when did he get to be someone that I actually don't mind hanging out with"! I seem to be doing better with my kids as they are getttin older...

this is funny-

NO one can make me laugh like my missionary- no one. I think that is why I miss him so much.

Laughing is so good for the body & soul. That Landon is getting quick with the comebacks- love it!

That is very funny. Quick witted kids are truly entertaining.

It is a total satisfying moment when the room is laughing with you...not at you.

Coughing really drives me crazy especially on the bus. I see the spit flying and shutter at the thought.

That is hilarious! Landon has a cute personality!

Oh..the coughing! It has been driving me crazy over here too! Chelsey gets a cough and it lasts forever, poor girl! I feel so bad that I find it so annoying sometimes...but man, it grates on the nerves!!!!

I think it remarkable you guys play so many games. Good. for. you.

Landon is so quick witted. What a talent to have a good, kind, quick, wit.

Thanks so much for the letter! The seal made it in fine condition...nary a brown stain to be found.

I love the honesty. How cute that he likes to make you laugh!

I can picture the whole thing! My family, on the whole, is quite sedate! Fred,Michelle and Ryan are all interesting for sure, but reserved. Jessie is intense and much more of a deep thinker than myself. I am intense, but more emotionally than intellectually. We have great family times, but they are pretty low-key! When we do have gales of laughter, it is fun! This sounds fun to me.

And, I have been coughing for about 3 weeks. My ribcage is sore, my collarbone is sore and my diaphram is sore.....I HATE coughing!

Sounds like a good time was had by all!

My kids don't hear me collapse into fits of giggles nearly enough! I need to lighten up & relax w/ them, & quit giving all my giggles to other people.

Landon seriously cracks me up! I love that kid, & I don't even know him in person.

melanie said...

Landon is one funny kid! I love that he knows just how to get you laughing till it hurts. The best kind of laughter!

Nikki said...

HA! That is so funny- and such a happy family moment/ memory for you all. I bet you'll be talking about this one for years! :)

My kids do crack me up too. One of the joys of motherhood. :)

crystal said...

Good Mail final count for tonight: 1 package & 3 letters! Go me! Thanks for your inspiration.

You're changing the world one letter at a time ;)

Elizabeth said...

You might have a stand up comedian in the making. Totally funny. WOrthy of the giggles for sure.

Cecilia said...

What a funny little boy! He has a bright future ahead with lots of giggles and proud moments like those!

PS-Sorry I haven't made enough comments on your blog lately... My life's been crazy! I've missed your blog!

michelle said...

p.s. Jane makes a very important point that I want to second -- it's wonderful that your kids know how to laugh and make others laugh in a kind way, without being rude to others. That's not easy, especially for kids!

Amy said...

I so loved this...it made me chuckle, too. And ditto to Jane's point that Michelle ditto'd. I really think there's nothing better than discovering that your own kids are good company and fun to be with.

Laurie said...

That whole exchange is hilarious. I love it.

Charlotte said...

That's so cute! I love laughing fits with my parents!

Anonymous said...

amy gretchen said...

He is a funny kid, that Landon.

I love his last comment. I feel the exact same way.

Linda said...

Adorable!

I think your comment about the "breeze" was just as funny. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! You constantly make me chuckle...I love it!

j said...

I played this game at a friend's house on Monday and it was the first time I'd ever heard about it, now here I am reading about it on your blog. It was a fun game, I really must find it for our family.
