So a few weeks ago I woke up to hysterical laughing. You would think it would be the sound of children's laughter that would wake me, but lo and behold, it was a grown man. The man I speak of is Travis. He was laughing UNCONTROLLABLY. I got out of my bed to find him sitting in the rocking chair, tears rolling down his cheeks, struggling to breathe. What would make a 30 year old man laugh so hard that he cries? Calvin and Hobbes. A few years ago, he mentioned to me that he loved those comics, and I was familiar with them because my Grandpa used to read them and laugh just as hard as Travis does. So I had bought him the same Calvin and Hobbes book my Grandpa had. So Travis had dug it out of the closet and started reading it. Hence the laughing 30 year old. Austin was like, "Dad, read it to me!!" So he started reading it out loud to him, and that lasted 4 seconds flat because he was already in hysterics again. Austin was like "What is so funny Daddy??" At one point he was laughing for seriously 5 minutes straight over the same joke. I just thought that this was really funny to watch. So that is what I did. I watched him read Calvin and Hobbes because it was more entertaining than anything else going on that day.

Hahaha!!..he kinda looks like he's having a heart attack...! Hopefully if THAT ever happens you don't get out your camera and then right a funny blog about it. :)
I've NEVER gotten Calvin and Hobbes. I remember the fuss about it, and tried to see what the big deal was and was blank-faced the whole time. I'd like to see exactly what cartoon he was laughing so hard at.
Any and ALL of them Jana. That is what is so dang funny. I tried to read them too, and no laughing. Well I was laughing, but only because he was.
