My Laugh is contagious and I know it

Almost everyone in the senior class has heard my laugh, and if they haven’t well they must live under a rock. I have benefitted myself because of laughter. I can think of anything or someone, and I start to sound like a chipmunk as people have called it. I’ve had the same laugh for my whole life so yes, I know my laugh is contagious but I love making other people laugh because of it.

When I first meet my best friend we were total opposites, honestly I have no idea why she wanted to be my friend but I don’t care she’s stuck with me. I think she wanted to be my friend because let’s be honest my laugh is one in a million. A lot of times my best friend and I can not even look at each other without laughing, we both have a great sense of humor. I love that I can laugh as much as I want without her getting upset because, by the time I’m done laughing, she’s laughing just as hard because of me.

There have been many instances like most people our age where we are watching tik toks and we decide we want to try one, because it looked fun, and we could get a kick out of it, well let’s just say this one had to do with a tarp, dish soap, and a hose. Yes, we saw a tik tok where these people went down a slip and slide, they looked like they were having a blast so we decided to try it. After we finally bought a tarp and found the soap we got to work. Now it’s just the beginning of April so it’s still pretty cold, we shouldn’t have been doing this. We got the water going, everything is all set up and I’m too scared to go so my best friend goes first and everything goes great. It’s now my turn, and I start running I do a little leap, I land and I rolled, somersaulting down the hill and when finally coming to a complete stop I just sit there. All I hear is ” Oh my god” coming from up the hill.

I think about everything that just happened within a twenty-second time period. I start laughing, I’m crying because I can’t breathe from laughing so much.

At that time I had no idea that my best friend recorded the whole thing. She’s laughing and crying so much she’s snorting, I finally get up after that very traumatic event. We look at her phone and watch it all over again, and at the moment all I can say is “I’m done for the day”. This was only the 3rd time over to her house, I just want that to be known. Ever since that incident, we have been inseparable, I feel like we both think about the video when we look at each other because we honestly can not keep a straight face whenever we are together. To avoid this whole thing from happening if I got my shirt all wet so it wouldn’t stick to the tarp but I definitely didn’t think about that.

Laughing has always been beneficial to me, and I feel like without it my best friend and I wouldn’t have these special and forever memorable moments. My friendship is because of something that could have been avoided but it happened for a reason. Laughing is a great way to spend the day no matter who it’s with. I know there are a lot of people who love my laugh and I’m glad because I know I can make them laugh with it. Laughter is a great thing that not everyone can experience so, make others experience it as well.
