I laugh when I'm uncomfortable. And at really inappropriate things. Like when someone does something super embarrassing, I can't help it, uncontrollable laughter. If someone falls or gets hurt... I'm laughing. It's ridiculous and it makes me seem like an asshole. I mean, I am an asshole and all but I'm usually not actually laughing because something is funny, but more like my discomfort has filled up my entire body and it has to spill out of my mouth in the form of laughter.
Anyhoo, I was at a program at Bugs's school today. They were doing a little play when all the sudden one of the kids dropped his script, grabbed his weiner and ran off stage. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 98.3% sure he peed his pants. I thought I saw the tell-tale dark spot on his pants and he never returned. A mature, good mom would be mortified for this kid and feel really bad. I, however, whispered (very loudly) to my husband, "I THINK THAT KID PEED HIS PANTS!!!" And then proceeded to hide my head and laugh for about 4 minutes. I could not for the life of me get it together. Finally my husband said just that, "Come on babe, get it together!" At that point I had to force myself to stop laughing and face front again. I was happy to see that none of the other parents were staring horrifyingly at me. Hopefully they didn't notice, but if they did, then I'm the asshole mom that laughed at a 2nd graders worst day of life.
Poor kid. I mean I do feel bad for him. But the laughter. It just comes. I can't help it!
Right there with ya. The more inappropraite the better. I do feel bad, but I just can't help it. You're in good company!
ReplyDeleteThis is so something I would do, although my husband would probably be right there with me and we would make a fool out of ourselves.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why I love you.
ReplyDeleteI totally get it. I love laughing at kids ;)I do the same thing but unfortunately comes out when Rob and I get into a fight. I can't help it. Lets just say that it doesn't go over very well when he is pissed and I am laughing.
ReplyDeleteLOL I just laughed so hard I ended up coughing. I probably would have laughed at the kid too, along with feeling bad.
