I Want to Cry

…from laughing so hard.
True story. It’s #37 on my bucket list–and I’ve never done it.

Some of you are reading this and thinking, “What? You’ve never done that?! I do it all the time! I just did that this morning!” I get that–and I’m jealous that it comes so easily to you. But I’ve never laughed until I’ve cried. I’ve laughed until my stomach hurts. I’ve laughed until I’ve snorted. I’ve laughed and have spit out the sip of whatever I just drank (I’ve also almost choked on it). I’ve even laughed until I almost peed, but I’ve never laughed until I’ve cried.

Before you think that I have an odd sense of humor or the people I hang out with aren’t funny–it’s not that. Yes, I do have an odd sense of humor, but I laugh. Quite a lot. As for the people I hang out with–they should have their own TV shows. There are still antics and stories I can think of that the mere thought makes me want burst into a fit of giggles. But really, it’s not that.

I think it’s me. Is laughing until you cry like whistling or rolling your tongue or smelling asparagus pee? Is it genetic? Can not everyone do it? If so, then this might be a bucket list item that will never get checked off, but my online search hasn’t come up with evidence to support that laughing until you cry only applies to some people–or that some people can’t do it.

So, the next time you come across something that makes you laugh until you cry, please send it my way and help me cross this one off the list. Please and thank you. 🙂
