Blog #2 Being So Tired That Everything Is Funny



The sun was down and the room was silent.  I look at my phone and see that it's 1pm.  I look at my brother sitting beside me in the media room as we watch a movie.  I look at the tv screen and hear my brother yawn.  Then I lose it, I fall off the chair and almost die of laughter.  My brother stares at me like I'm crazy and at that point I didn't really care.  I slowly get up while laughing my head off and walk around trying to catch my breath.  I bent over trying to stop because I can feel a six pack coming on from laughing.  I clench my stomach and fall back onto the ground while my brother starts to gradually join in laughing.  He looks at me and I stop laughing for a second but then I start laughing so hard tears run down my red face.  I start coughing trying to get my breath back and then my brother starts to go down too.  We both roll on the floor not knowing what's so funny other than we both think we're going to die of laughter.  After about five minutes I sit up and wipe the tears off my face.  Then I stand up and look at my brother sitting up twenty feet from me.  He slowly stands up and stumbles back to the chairs still laughing but under control.  I crawl to the chairs still not sure what to think, and trying not to laugh about what just happened.  I look at my phone and realize that we were laughing for fifteen minutes.  I show the screen to my brother and his eyes go big and he starts laughing again.  I role my eyes at him and decide to join in because I’m too tired to think of not laughing.  Finally we stop and the next day my brother and eye look at each other like the other one is crazy, then we smile and go on with the day.
