I lost my first born son and yet dead baby jokes and over the top, obviously ridiculous scenes of kids in danger makes me laugh. I am able to retain my dark sense of humor because it does help me cope.
Now watching a dramatic movie which has the same issues...or even an animated movie for kids (Disney's Tarzan I am looking at you! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID), that breaks me soul.
Gimme anime like Another (how the heck do you get killed via umbrella?!) any day, I will laugh my butt off.
Also, my hubby gave me shit for this, but while I hope that people succeed in their over the top, public proposals, or victory speech, or singing the anthem, a part of me secretly wants them to fail. I don't know why, but the idea of putting all of your heart and soul into one moment and then having it backfire so spectacularly...
Makes me lol.
I make fun of my pain and others pain, what can I say.
