I laugh a lot, at a lot of foolishness and the older I grow
it seems there are many foolish things to laugh at. – both people and things.
Gets me into trouble sometimes, especially if I am around persons without a
sense of humour.
The other day, I saw a close up on television of a rabbit
eating and had to laugh out loud. Everything on its face twitched and wiggled
as it chewed. It occurred to me that God must have a sense of humour.
I have always laughed at the wrong times. Once when I was
in fourth form (a long time ago), the whole class was in detention for making a
noise.For some reason I had a reputation for excessive talking and when the form
teacher (Mrs. Veitch) came in to ascertain who was responsible for the noise, of
course my name was called. I stood up indignantly to declaim. "Miss, I was
not
spoking at the time." The class, of course, tittered and I collapsed into helpless
laughter which earned me an order mark (serious thing).
Then there was the time I was a young teacher and the
class had to make a report on their favourite music. One bright spark talked for
3 minutes about her love of 'raw soul.'
If you know Jamaican bad words, you will know how that sounds
when pronounced as one word..A teacher should not laugh in such circumstances –
right? RIGHT!
There was another day when my car was in a stationary traffic
line near where some higglers were selling. One of them suddenly went into the 'spirit' -
tongues and bending, jerking body and all. Then she came out of it, as suddenly as she had gone into it, as if nothing had happened. I was
scared at first, as I thought something had gone wrong with her, only to hear
her friend asking: "Wha' happen,Missis? How you get into spirit so early in
the morning?". She answered quite mildly: "Ah, mi chile, ah so it go
sometimes." I laughed all the way to work.
