Did I mention laughter is not always appropriate?
I had a giggle fit at my grandma’s funeral. I know how bad that sounds – but it’s not my fault.
My aunt’s cell phone went off like three times. And her ring tone was this really upbeat Beach
Boys song. What was truly funny, though, was the agitated whisper argument she had with her
sister while it was happening.
And she'll have fun, fun, fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away!
"Is that yours?"
"What?! No one calls me."
And she'll have fun, fun, fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away!
"Just turn it off! It’s that button right there!"
(Hand being smacked)
"No, it’s this one here."
"So push it!"
"I would, but it makes a really loud sound when I turn it off."
And she'll have fun, fun, fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away!
"Not as loud as that!"
"Who is calling me? No one ever calls me!"
I might have managed a quiet chuckle except that my brother was doing his Precious hyena laugh next to me. It’s quiet, but it shakes the entire pew. And it’s friggin’ contagious. I was defenseless.
My grandma, who lived a long life, did enjoy a good laugh during her stay here, so I hope she was giggling from her seat, too.
The great thing about this embarrassing moments topic is that I am sure to be able to revisit it again at a later date. Unfortunately, we don’t regenerate brain cells as we get older!
