Giggle or Weep
“I was brought up by people who tended to
giggle at funerals.”--Emma Thompson
I heard
a pair of babies
giggling loudly.
This continued
for several
hysterical minutes.
I investigated
and found
my wife staring
at youtube,
playing & replaying
a giggle-duel.
I began
to watch
the video too.
“This trumps chaos,”
she said--we both
giggled.

YES.
Laughter is always the best medicine. Trumps chaos, confusion, loss, everything.
Love this little captured moment, Glenn. Thank you!
Oh I love this... what a wonderful little tribute to those innocent videos... out of the mouth of babes...
Innocent joy is contagious....!!!
I didn't know there were such things as "giggle duels".
Videos of babies or pets are just fun to watch ~ Makes you forget the tragic comedies in the news today.

Kind regards

ahahahaha :D this reminds me of my mother.. she does this sometimes.. nice write!❤️
Kids know how to laugh, madly.
Laughter is such an excellent antidote to chaos.
I know and love that quote from Emma Thompson - I giggle in 'inappropriate' situations too!
I love the way you've conveyed the infectiousness of giggling!
Definitely contagious!
I love this. You can always grouse, cry, rant...but to giggle? That is priceless. Good on your wife for indulging and good on you for joining her.
It is infectious isn't it...one starts and away you go..
This made me smile. I love those Facebook videos of giggling babies. They make me feel all is right with the world!
A child's laughter is catching. Nice write.
Giggling is definitely preferable to the evening news, lol.
Very nice.
We could all use agood giigle about now.
Saying goodbye to Bermuda today.....so shall just read a few quadrilles this morning before returning to the glorious early morning on our Bermuda deck. Fly back to Boston this afternoon....so shall finish reading quadrilles in our Boston study tonight, as well as mementos too . But had to read yours today....you never disappoint.
Ah yes, we do indeed need all the giggles we can conjure up to help us through these times! You always, so to speak, hit the nail on the head! :)
Wonderful...last line adds the depth to giggle...all smiles!
'Trumps Chaos' is the perfect line to end this giigle-icious poem
Giggling babies and puppies playing will improve any chaotic situation, even if only for a short time.
it seems you have found a way to turn tears into giggles...we need more giggles in life...tickles of delight are somewhere..
