Creepin'

Over Easter holiday, we were asked to do some eavesdropping/creeping/observing on people's laughter in conversation. Reuniting with my sisters, family, and friends was indeed cause for a lot of laughter, and I observed many instances of laughter that arose from different situations during my time at home.

After being picked up from the airport by my friend, he told me that he had bought some candy for me, Sprees and Sweet-Tarts (nom!). He started to chuckle at my reaction as I realized that one of the bags of candy had already been opened and was halfway gone. (I thought it was my welcome home present?!) Then he confessed that he had forgotten what Sprees tasted like, so he had to have a few. We both burst into laughter, and when I later told my family they laughed too.

On my first night back, my sisters were telling tons of stories about their classes, teachers, and friends. Before they even began their stories they would laugh just thinking about what they were about to say. Or Lauren would begin with, "Hey Lindsey, do you remember when this or that happened?" and they would both crack up before letting me in on the story. During one of Lauren's impersonations, we all laughed because she did such a perfect impersonation of a girl who goes to our high school. This laughter was a result of both shared knowledge of the situations and people involved and also in the common type of humor that my sisters and I share.

The whole time that we sat at our kitchen table sharing our funny stories, my parents were there, laughing with/at us as my sisters and I laughed with/at each other. We were all a source of entertainment and laughter for each other!
