HUMOR

 

The goal here is to get 5 – 10 good, deep belly laughs in a short period of time.  (Stay away from the cutesy-romantic comedies.)  Chances are your children haven’t seen you really laugh in a long time.  It will be good for them to know you are really happy and o.k. for a little while and it’ll also be good for them to feel like they can easily interact with you without worry about your emotional state.  Also, it might be contagious – your children might start laughing too.

 

Of course, comedy and humor are all in the eye of the beholder.  Here are some all-time favorites:

 

 

Stand-up comedian shows/videos, e.g. Bill Cosby, George Carlin, Robin Williams

Tootsie

Jumpin’ Jack Flash

Abbot and Costello movies

Charlie Chaplin’s movies

The Marx Brothers’ movies

The Three Stooges’ movies

George Burns’ books

Erma Bombeck’s books

Re-runs (on television or video) of favorite old sit-coms, but not just the average good ones, the ones that were hysterical throughout the whole show, more like A.L.F. and the Muppet Show, than say Andy Griffith, which was nice, but not rip-roaring laughter filled, maybe Dick Van Dyke, etc.

Some Like It Hot
