restaurant instead of yelling. Which is better for all involved. The joke that had been said sent me a Claire into a fit. Bent over while gasping for breath. Claire’s face had turned that shade of bright red it always does when she gets flustered. My laugh was really just a wheeze as a tried to stop the tears from streaming down my face. Katie and Chad also laughed but not in the same uncontrollable way Claire and I did. I only glanced at the cop when he walked in as I was still laughing. He walked

I am the loveable and easy-going person I am today. My sense of humor allows me to be as enjoyable as possible. My mother always says that I can make her laugh during any situation to brighten her day. Others encourage me to be a comedian because of the phrases I use in my daily life.
