Things that made me laugh out loud

“A good laugh is a mighty good thing, a rather too scarce a good thing.”

– Herman Melville

I woke up from the chair I slept in last night. I left my room because I wanted to sleep in a different place, even though my room said to me this morning "You left me alone and went to embrace another, am I not worth your satisfaction? I missed you last night so I could cuddle you" I watched my bed with a calm face while I listened to its worries, then I laid the bed so neatly while I replied back;

"You know you will always be my favorite because you give me the comfort I need. I slept on the long chair but I wasn't comfortable, I had back pain. I wanted to come back to you last night but I waved it off to spend the time with your friend. Don't worry, I won't make you miss me again, but I don't want you to feel bad or envious because I wouldn't like it". The bed smiled at me and I smiled back.

So, what's up everyone! It's a great day which I know, and I will be positive to receive the best of today. As I stepped outside, sitting at the verandah and watching the trees moving, the birds chirping in a melodious voice, that is the beauty of being surrounded by nature, you know? Ideas were out at first, then I checked in my emails to see if I would be inspired to write on something and yes, I got something from Shadows Pub asking "What are the five things that make you laugh out loud?"

I tried finding things that made me laugh but there were many of them. I decided to talk about two things that made me laugh recently in the house. One thing about my family is that you will always wake up to laugh over something either from Grandma or anyone and we are always laughing and happy each day with something to cheer us up.

GRANDMA MADE ME LAUGH SO LOUD

This happened a few days ago and before then, Grandma had always prayed one prayer and it is for God to take her away quickly. She is always praying for death. When you think you are afraid of death, there is something one would experience to call unto death himself, but I pray such challenges will never come to us to make us seek for death, so we can go and rest. But in grandma's case, nothing is wrong but she thinks she has grown so old to be seeing people dying, those younger than her and she is still left on earth.

It's always a bad omen when an old woman sees the death of someone younger than her. So, whenever anyone dies in the village and they are those they have come very far with, either younger or senior, she would feel the pain and would always talk to God to make hers fast and quick so they don't have to keep carrying her from one place to another.

So this day, I was sitting inside while she was outside taking some fresh air, my cousin teased her about something and I heard grandma saying "If God hasn't taken me before then" this was what I heard and went outside with a smile telling mama not to pray for death now because she would soon see her children getting married and becoming a great grandma. She smiled and said this "If God won't take her now, then He should return her strength as in the past to her". This made me laugh so hard that I couldn't control myself.

We told mama, the older she gets, the weaker she becomes and it's because of her old age. She insisted God should take her then. It was really funny how she said it then and I can't forget such a day. In fact I pray God keeps her alive so I can tell her that day, "God spared your life so you can see our husbands and children, now you can now rest"😅😅

MY COUSIN WANT TO BE A YAHOO

I just can't stop laughing while typing this because this is the funniest thing I have heard in the house last week. My cousin who is the same age as me came to meet me on how to be working and earning like I do. I smiled looking at him and had to explain first to him so he would know it's not an easy job I do daily.

I asked if he could write and he said yes. I told him the minimum words he would be writing daily and he must be active daily to engage if he must earn, more importantly, be ready to spend on data in the beginning and never to expect earning immediately. I haven't spoken at all, before he told me that he is no longer interested in writing. I just looked at him and said "you are not ready"

After some hours, he came back saying he wants to do Yahoo. I laughed so hard that I looked at my cousin. "So you don't want to work but to dupe and scam people?" And do you even think Yahoo is easy? Where is the phone or laptop to use? Where are the requirements to use even if you want to do it? He didn't reply and the next thing was for my cousin to start chatting with a white man on Facebook.

In fact he begged my younger sister to help him out with words to use. I was looking at both of them. My cousin wanted to do Yahoo and does not know how to spell "Mall" 😂😂 I was shaking my head for him while he continued and never said anything to me.

I slept and woke up, only for my sister to narrate all that had gone wrong later that day. This was what made me laugh uncontrollably again. She said my cousin spoke to a white man and he was being asked different questions. My cousin disguised himself to be a lady. The white man asked for her(his) picture and he went to download one of the famous model and photographer online called "Danielle Lopez", 😅😅 instantly, he was blocked.

It was really a funny moment because my cousin is still in secondary school and instead of focusing on becoming better, he wants to start scamming to make money. There is a cruise in my family and it's enough for me to have awesome moments each day.

I hope you enjoyed these scenarios?

Thanks for reading and laughing too. Lol
