It’s so true though, we really don’t want to be taking ourselves too seriously! Glad you were wearing pants, some pant is better than none! My dress got sucked up in an escalator the other day. Mortifying but laughed like a hyena afterwards :)

We all need to learn to laugh at ourselves. It’s what keeps us sane! One of my daughters often gets in a huff when she’s playing and the game doesn’t go her way. Trouble is the face she pulls makes us all laugh because she looks so funny. She sees us laughing and a smile soon breaks onto her face!

As a proud mum I invited lots of family and friends, my boy came on stage and was bossed around by partner which the audience found amusing. However my son did not and did not attend the dance group again. At the age of 8 he still finds it hard when people laugh at him, I am constantly trying to appease him by staying they are laughing with you and not at you.

From playing practical jokes with him on each other (always a gem) to laughing our loud at pratfalls it has led to us having a fun relationship with him.

Of course the fact that he knows it’s funny and tries to make us laugh is also great now he’s older and can understand that falling over isn’t a disaster it’s funny. He does also stop me taking myself too seriously which is no bad thing :o)

Kids and adults need to laugh at themselves more. Life is serious enough! The other day my kid needed a wee at a supermarket that had no toilet. I got to the back and helped him wee over some shubbery hidden at the back out of people’s view. He proceeded to wee on my hand-joyous and was laughing hard. I kept saying, “OOh that’s yucky, yucky, yucky” to which he replied, “it is yucky and it’s funny!” Couldn’t disagree!
