Laughter is an audible expression or the appearance of happiness, or an inward feeling of joy (laughing on the inside). It may ensue (as a physiological reaction) from jokes, tickling or other stimuli. It is in most cases a very pleasant sensation.

Crackin' Up Cousins! Sistahs in Spirit...


Ok, ok! This is silly but my cousin Linda and I are sisters separated at birth - it has to be! If you ever listened to us and tried to figure out the reasoning behind our sense of humor - it's sort of like that twin communication thing you might have read about it? We've roared on a roll away bed in Rome, we've giggled in her room, we've chuckled in the car. No, it doesn't even have to be especially funny to anyone else. Although, there are a few family members that have shared moments similar to our's about our Grandmas,and assorted relatives that we discuss at summer cookouts or holiday dinners. You'd just have to be there. Unless you have ridiculous laughter of your own and are lucky enough to have a sistah of the heart like I do.
