I Love To Laugh…

Daily writing prompt
What makes you laugh?

There’s nothing like a good movie, to get me giggling! Not just any movie will do, as most movies out now-a-days are filled with everyone’s drama, dirty laundry and dark schemes. That’s not funny at all! I have enough crap that goes on around my own life, why would I take pleasure in watching everybody else’s trainwrecks?

I’m talking the oldies but goodies, like Abbot and Costello, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Carol Burnett, Tim Conway and Harvey Corman, and so many others. The never-ending list of pricelessly funny old movies goes on and on. We all have our favorite go-to movies to lift our spirits and bring out the laughter! Those old movies made things funny without doing it at the expense of another’s feelings. Those were the days, before everything seems to offend someone or other, and it was just simply funny!

I long for the days, where one could just laugh at a thing without fear of offending others, or being slapped with a label! Newsflash!!! Sometimes a thing is just funny, because it is! The funny isn’t the problem, it’s what we do with it when we see it, hear it, or read it… not everything has nefarious motives!

Laughter was meant, and has been used for, lifting the spirit and spreading happiness! Whatever makes you laugh from deep within your belly, usually accompanied by a snort or possibly passing gas loudly… it’s gotta be good for us!

Here, have a Friday Fruit Tart…

  1. Ahhh…the good old days! I used to sing that song, “I Love to Laugh” with my babies when they were young. Mary Poppins is my husband’s favorite movie. Also, what about “I Love Lucy?” Great, wholesome comedy!
