Anatomy Of A Crack-Up
The other night, Bossy and her daughter received two free tickets to attend the re-release of The Wizard of Oz, which Bossy and her daughter managed to turn into a spending opportunity, represented by the above menu. Oy.
While Bossy and her daughter waited for the delivery of their fried fried drizzled with fried, Bossy thought about the many different facets that make up a personality.
One of the things Bossy adores most about her daughter is the fact that right under her sunshiny surface lives a very old soul who surrenders to profound thoughtfulness:
As much as Bossy appreciates this trait, Bossy loves the fact that right above that lies someone with a doctorate in giggles. Shall we? First Bossy gets her daughter’s attention by saying something:
And then Bossy twists that something around and bounces it willy-nilly:
And then Bossy takes that something and propels it ass over head until its party dress is wrapped around its neck:
And then it’s Game Over. All that remains for Bossy to do is sit back and enjoy the descent into belly laughs.
Ahhh. Mission accomplished, at least for another hour.
As much as Bossy appreciates the many facets of her beloved daughter~ Bossy has proven her own sparkly ways herein!
One day Bossy’s little sunshine will speak of her mother and they way she could always make her laugh laugh laugh!
Could Bossy be my mom? That would be such fun!
It is my mission when I am with any of my kids, to make them belly laugh. It’s healing for me to hear their giggles, no matter how old they are.
bossy’s daughter and bossy’s son look so much alike…
I wish I had had a mom like bossy (sniff)…
You look like you have a great relationship with your daughter. Reminds me of me and my daughter, Adee. I think my daughter is a couple of years older than yours, but it was just the 2 of us for so long and we really had a great time together. We love going to musicals together too. It’s our mother/daughter date nights!
I love it! Making your kids giggle is one of the most amazing feelings.
Best thing ever is hearing your own kid belly laugh at something you’ve said or done. Great work, Bossy!
Nothing better than the laughter of a child.
I love laughing hysterically to tears with my kids…thanks for reminding me to do it soon…
Bossy’s daughter looks so grown up. What happen to Super Pajama Bottom Girl?
Is this what your mother did with you? Was just reflecting on the delightfully strong mother-daughter bonds in your fam.
That plus the fact that your daughter will always remember you with a camera permanently in front of your face.
Isn’t she lovely? I wonder if years from now she will look back on this experience and treasure it or will she think Bossy is a nutjob who tormented her and made her go into therapy? (and Bossy will be in ‘the home’ so it won’t matter).
Love the pictures and the laughter always.
Love how she’s positively doubling over in the last pic! Ah, I fondly remember uncontrollable laughing hysterics, complete with tears, with my family around the dinner table. I hope my daughters will have such good memories too.
Sweet! Does Bossy teach Belly Laughs 101? I think I need a refresher course.
The progression of those pictures is priceless.
Old souls truly understand the power and profoundness of a good belly laugh. Me thinks Bossy is an old soul herself.
If I had a daughter, I’d want her to be exactly like Bossy’s Delightful Daughter. Magnificence!
You left out the last part , where the one who birthed the child has to go to the bathroom from laughing so hard.
Quelle delight, and in such a lovely and beautiful (in an un-selfconscious way) one!
And isn’t she lucky, by the way, to have a mom who can (1)make her laugh, and (2) appreciate her! You rock!
Bossy, your daughter is absolutely beautiful!
P to da S…in the second to last picture, that woman in the background looks JUST LIKE my highs school math teacher. Mrs. Dolbec…is dat youuuuu?!
Bossy needs more videos. The pictures don’t do it justice, methinks.
There is nothing much better than making your daughter laugh, this is true…I’m hoping that for a little while yet it stays that way. I am afraid that soon it will be a roll of the eyes and a,”Mo-om!”
The only time I reallly feel special is when my kids laugh–and it’s something *I* did or said that made that laughter bubble up.
You know, she looks absolutely gorgeous!!
It’s good to see your lovely daughter looking so cute after her run in with that dog.
Bossy, can you please adopt me? And Bossy’s daughter is so very pretty. She’s adorable
