Is there anything better than humor?

Is there anything better than humor?

Wait, don’t answer that. 

There are.

There are things better than humor.

All those truly, deeply good things in life:

-The kind of love that comes alongside you and wraps around your soul.

-The idea of redemption: The way something broken and torn can be not just healed, but molded into something even more beautiful and strong and whole than what it used to be.

-Real, honest friendship.

-Hot coffee in the morning with vanilla creamer.

 

 

BUT, is there anything better than humor at making all things better, just by adding a dash of it?

Yes, I hear you, coffee works here too.

 

 

But humor makes almost any book, movie, tv show, or life event better. No matter how serious the subject matter, a little humor can make the entire thing…better.

This week my husband and I stayed up WAY too late this week watching hysterically funny videos by the Holderness Family. (I recommend Adulting and the Dad Song if you’re looking for a place to start.)

I happen to think humor should be sprinkled liberally into all of life.

If you’ve read my books, you know I think humor should also be sprinkled liberally through all parts of a story. The light parts, the heavy parts, even the sad parts. Because there’s just something about a laugh that lightens your heart.

In the spirit of humor, here’s one more video of Dad Jokes that made my husband and I laugh hard enough the kids were worried: Dad Jokes

 

 

My favorite joke from the video:

My Friend: What rhymes with orange?

Me: No it doesn’t.

And, since we like words around here, a few grammar jokes to wrap things up.

Thanks to Stephan for sending me a long, very funny list of these:

A bar was walked into by the passive voice.
An oxymoron walked into a bar, and the silence was deafening.
A question mark walks into a bar?
A synonym strolls into a tavern.
At the end of the day, a cliché walks into a bar — fresh as a daisy, cute as a button, and sharp as a tack.
A hyphenated word and a non-hyphenated word walk into a bar and the bartender nearly chokes on the irony.

So, hit me up with the best joke you’ve heard lately in the comments!
