Laugh it up!
I have a problem laughing at the wrong time. I don't mean to, in fact sometimes I don't realize I've laughed until someone points it out. A few months ago I was sitting in a truck at a gas station waiting for some friends when I overheard a couple nearby arguing. I didn't know the whole situation, but the whole disagreement seemed pretty trivial, so for some odd reason, I laughed. The girl looked over and for a second, I froze. I hadn't realized the truck window was down and the laugh was accidental! I was scared that she might come over and yell at me. Luckily, she didn't. She actually gave out a small laugh. Phew! I was saved, my problem with my involuntary laugh hadn't killed me...yet. There have been a few occasions where my roommate has come out of her room with a fun outfit or new article of clothing that she's purchased and asks what we think. I love my roommate's style, it's outgoing and full of colors. But before I voice my opinion my roommate comments about how I laughed at her. Had I laughed? I guess I had, but if I did it was out of pure happiness because her outfit is so fun. Wrong time to laugh. I promise her I'm not laughing AT her outfit, but it sure sounded like it. So if I laugh at you, don't take offense, it probably doesn't mean anything. Like my dad always told me, "I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you except you're not laughing"
