This has been the most difficult “this is” for me so far!  I have found it really difficult to identify what in particular makes me laugh out loud.  I don’t think that I am a terribly serious person – my friends often make me laugh, I laugh at funny things I read, at things that the children do and say, at absurdities.  But what especially makes me laugh out loud – to the extent that I start to giggle just remembering it?  This is embarassing – it’s when people walk into glass doors.

More specifically, watching the expression on my husband’s face when he walks into a glass door.  He did this about ten years ago – luckily he didn’t hurt himself – and for some reason, I found it hilarious.  I still do!  Yet I loathe programs like “funniest home videos” where the “humour” is often people hurting themselves.  So why do I find this so funny?  Clare recently walked straight into our screen door and I found that hilarious too (once reassured that she wasn’t hurt).  Maybe there is something wrong with me …
