Something Funny

My something funny is my sister. My sister is the most hilarious person I know. There is no one else that I laugh with quite like Laurel.

She is funny in so many ways. She's intelligent, brash, outrageous, insightful, intuitive. She is funny to me in just the way that she is. Simply the thought of some of our conversations make me giggle. 

Part of this phenomenon is our history. She's been my older sister, and best friend, for close to 20 years. I've known her a while, and this type of relationship allows for the context and comfort level that can result in moments of great hilarity. It can be as little as a moment of knowing eye contact, but we both get the joke.

I know her so well that I can really appreciate the subtle nuances of her humor. 

Sometimes relationships stem off the ability to reciprocate humor, but with my sister, the relationship predates laughter. We are able to fully enjoy each other's company because of our bond as sisters, and I think that's something special.

I also think the factor of closeness is important with humor. Laughter plays interesting roles in getting to know people on different levels. It can help you feel more at ease with a stranger, or solidify an already-close friendship. It perpetuates trust, among other things.

Anyway, I just wanted to immortalize on the internet my adoration for my sister. The most gut-busting,  rolling on the floor, "I can't breathe"moments of my life are thanks to her.  Do you have anyone like this?
