Lability update


When I put Linda to bed tonight, she was laughing. It's hard for Linda to talk when she laughing, or when she's smiling even, but she eventually told me it was just labile laughing. Late-night, slumber-party giggling.

Well, naturally I couldn't resist the opportunity to feed it. So I would look right at her and then snort or spit like I had just burst out laughing. She totally couldn't resist that, and pretty soon we were both laughing hard for real.

Of course, it's not really funny. It's not the worst, because the crying is the worst. But it is still frustrating to be out of control. On the other hand, when you get in one of these fits, it's pretty easy to just laugh it all off.
