I’m sort of hard to make laugh. I only do it for what I consider to be Very Good Things. Ben can make me laugh. Lots of times my kids make me laugh. They all say that I made them funny but not laughing at things they did that I didn’t find amusing, so they had to keep trying harder and harder to get me. And they are all very funny, so I guess that worked.

Another thing that makes me laugh is Ylvis, as posted about earlier. One thing that liking the humor of Ylvis did for me is that it got to to watch Season 1 of Kongen Befaler, which means The King Commands and is Taskmaster in Norway. I watch it with subtitles and it really does make me laugh. And that led me to Taskmaster. And boy do I love Taskmaster too. I’ve watched all the British seasons and some of the other versions. I think there is a new season out now and I’ve been waiting to watch it. That will be a very nice thing to do in November, I think.

I am smiling right now thinking about watching Taskmaster with my dear friends Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne.

These shows are so SMART, you know? So you get to laugh and you get to think, and you get to solve things. It’s such a good combination.

It’s funny because Marissa used to love her Britcoms on PBS and tried to get me to watch them and I was like, yuck, no, I can’t even understand those people. When Ben and I watched Shaun of the Dead, I had to put on subtitles. But then Ben and I watched Downtown Abbey and Great British Bake Off and then Taskmaster, and I don’t have a problem with the accents at all. I really don’t understand how I ever did.

And I’m so glad I can watch it so easily now because the funny things I have found matches up with my sense of humor to a T!

I filled out my Secret Sister form for church today. I hope I do a good job and help her to feel loved. Sometimes I let time get away from me. I’m going to start praying for whoever mine is tonight! I don’t know who she is yet, but God does.
