There are many times I've laughed before, where I've laughed so hard my side has hurt and I was out of breath. To be sincere I don’t really remember many of the occasions that led up to those laughs. I really just mostly remember the feeling of laughing until I’m gasping for breath.
There is one occasion I remember of laughing hard, it isn't the funniest, but it’s the only one I remember at this moment, probably because its one of the earliest memories I have of my family. When I was younger we had traveled to see my family a lot, the first time I remember meeting them I was around four years old.
We had been at my grandfather’s farm and there was a party to celebrate our arrival. I remember the adults dancing on the porch, it had rained the day before and the ground under the porch was mud. I think it was maybe really funny to me at that time because of my age but one of my uncles, who was already a little drunk had danced too close to the edge and had tripped off the porch. I remember seeing him reach forward and grab an aunt and then she grabbed the person next to her and on and on until some five people had been pulled of the porch and had landed in the mud. The kids had all laughed and ran forward to pelt them with mud it was really funny actually then to see them all on the ground, wet and dirty, but i really think the funniest thing was my uncles laugh. His laugh is one of those that makes you laugh along instantly and i think that was what had most of us laughing in that moment.
