Has it been a while since you’ve had a good, hearty laugh? You’re not alone—many people struggle to find moments of joy in their busy lives. But did you know that laughter is more than just fun? It’s actually vital for your well-being.
Science shows that laughter triggers the release of feel-good hormones, improving both your mental and physical health. That’s why making time to laugh every day can be such a powerful habit.
If you haven’t had your daily laugh yet, consider this your gentle nudge to start. Below, I’ve shared a joke that was new to me, and I hope it brings a smile to your face. Take a moment to enjoy and soak in the positive vibes that laughter brings!
“Hello?”
“Hi, sweetie. This is Daddy. Is Mommy nearby?”
“No, Daddy. She’s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.”
After a pause, Daddy replies, “But honey, you don’t have an Uncle Paul.”
“Oh yes, I do! He’s in the bedroom with Mommy right now.”
Another brief pause. “Okay, here’s what I want you to do. Put the phone down, go upstairs, knock on the bedroom door, and shout that Daddy’s car just pulled into the driveway.”
“Alright, Daddy. Just a second.”
A few minutes later, the little girl returns. “I did it, Daddy.”
“And what happened?”
“Well, Mommy got really scared. She jumped out of bed without any clothes on, ran around screaming, tripped on the rug, hit her head on the dresser, and now she’s not moving!”
“Oh no! What about Uncle Paul?”
“He got scared too! He jumped out of bed with no clothes on, ran to the window, and leapt into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn’t know you emptied it last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool, and I think he’s dead.”
Long pause
Finally, Daddy asks, “Swimming pool? … Is this 486-5731?”
We hope this lighthearted story brought a smile to your face! Sometimes, a good laugh is just what we need to take a break from the serious side of life. Share this tale and spread the joy!
