My Second Fit of Unrestrained Laughter

Breaking into fits of unrestrained laughter is probably one of my favorite things to experience. There is nothing like spending time with close family and friends and sharing a moment of pure joy with them. I love the feeling of laughing so hard that you can barely catch your breath, your eyes start to water, and your stomach even begins to hurt. You have no control over it and you cannot make the laughter stop. I was recently celebrating the birthday of a close friend at Joe T’s in Fort Worth. All of our close friends were in attendance to help our friend celebrate her birthday. Every one enjoyed dinner and was in high spirits. Birthdays seem to always put people in a good mood. As dinner came to a close, our waitress brought a cupcake with a single candle in it to my friend. The entire group began to sing happy birthday in unison. My friend Abby was particularly enthused about the song and got slightly too excited. She accidentally skipped forward in the sing missing the second “Happy Birthday to you” and jumping forward to the “Happy Birthday dear April.” She was singing incredibly loudly too which just drew even more attention to the fact that she was at the wrong part of the song. The group continued to sing but everyone sitting in Abby’s general area could not help but bust into unrestrained laughter. She was singing so loudly and so enthusiastically making it incredibly noticeable that she was at the wrong part of the song. I barely made it through the rest of the song because I was laughing so uncontrollably. This event sticks out in my head as a moment of unrestrained laughter because it was a time of pure joy for everyone. Plus it was a birthday party which are always fun and bring people together. Everyone was in such high spirits that night, just enjoying each other’s company and laughter was plentiful. It is such a great experience to be able to share positive humor with your closest friends. I think when you are extremely comfortable with the people you are with, laughter flows more freely. People are willing to be themselves, no matter how goofy or silly they are being. The sole purpose of humor and laughter is to bring joy into people’s lives and a smile to someone’s face. There is nothing better than experiencing a moment of unrestrained laughter. These are the moments that you remember with your friends and family and look back on fondly. Laughter is meant to be positive and can brighten someone’s day in so many ways.
