Why Small Unexpected Moments Can Bring Joy

Simple, silly actions like making Krispies fly or laughing at funny words can unexpectedly delight you. These small moments of humor and surprise trigger happiness by breaking routine and creating a sense of playfulness and spontaneity in everyday life.

One time I was sitting down to cereal with a blank half asleep brain and stared at my boring bowl of rice krispies no milk.
Resigned, I sighed in and then out through my nose which caused a whole bunch of krispies to fly out onto the table.

Dont' ask me why.. but in the dullest of early morning before hs moments I found that delightfully hysterical. Naturally when I laughed the larger resulting wind sent the rest of the bowl of them sailing. I didn't care, the science of the thing made up for the lack of milk and company.

I know.... Im wierd. But it was the unexpected little amusing surprise that just tickled me in a moment of vacume like they planned the whole thing just to make me laugh.

I love words...words like snausages, heffalump, farfegnugen and plethora make me giggle

words like eschew are hard to say with a mouthfull of crackers.

Sometimes when I'm done doing the dishes I like to plug up the sink, fill it with water and then start splashing uncontrollably. There's also times where I lie down on the floor and do my best version of a deathroll. For added effect I roll up my blanket and pretend an anaconda is trying to suffocate me. I really like playing with peoples faces too.

I also have a thing for funny words.

You know what else is fun? Swinging your arms around like two windmills as hard and as fast as you can. I remember doing this for a couple minutes and almost passing out because I was holding my breath at the same time.

When I go grocery shopping I like to squeeze the meats and see how squishy they are. I prefer ground beef because of the texture. It's a really nice feeling.

Almost every morning, I have a hard time waking up because I'm such a night owl. So, since I love the deep semi rough voice I have in the morning, I make motorcycle engine idle noises. And then I'll "rev" up and down and it makes me laugh and it actually helps me get out of bed.

I used to "steamroll" who ever was laying down at my families house. So if my mom was taking a nap I would run, jump and roll up and down "steamrolling", trying to flatten them out like the guy that gets flattened in Roger Rabbit.

Love to throw a random paper clip into the middle of the office where the cubicles are so people try to figure out who is throwing things.

I do little dances in the mirror when in the bathroom and I am pretty serious about it. *Finger gun point* Yeah! Im awesome!

LOL Fingerpoint. I also spend too much time dancing in the mirror or making random faces. I laugh randomly at strange words, use jerkface as a term of endearment, and I like to growl and make pirate noises...

1) When watching breakfast programmes in the morning and they have the ??10,000 quiz and they give you multiple answers, usually 3. When they ask the question I always respond with the wrong answer to the TV, really seriously.

2) People-watching on the top deck of a bus.

3) When I see people trip, fall over or slip = funny. When I do it I laugh at myself.

4) Having my back scratched.

5) At my old house we had a corner bath and I would often cross my legs and spin round in it to create a whirlpool.

6) Playing, chewing and then demolishing 15 plastic tongue bar balls (I replaced them all with a metal one)

7) Popping bubble wrap

8) Tucking the pockets neatly into jeans once they are on.

9) Sour sweets

10) Watching Crimewatch UK monthly

11) When I buy my monthly Spirit & Destiny magazine

12) A decent spliff after a mad day

I sometimes like to dance like I don't know how to dance and try to be as off beat as possible... makes me laugh.

Yey to us weirdos lol

Words don't really make me laugh but there are weird words that I just don't like saying and I wonder why this word exists... can't think of any right now.
