Laugh! Laugh!

I saw on Yahoo (screw the exclamation mark) this video of a baby laughing. I then went to Youtube and realized over 13 million people saw this video.



I thought I could do better.

But Liam didn't laugh. So I got angry and I smacked him with his burp cloth. That'll teach him.

so cute.

incidentally the funniest(yours wins cutest...) baby laugh ever was here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P6UU6m3cqk

SJ said...

Awww so cute.

Jude said...

He's a cute little guy, he was lauging so much I bet he peed himself. I saw the other baby on someone's site and he made me smile and so did your little guy..Thanks

Dan said...

There is no finer sound in this world than a baby laughing.

Traditionally, among my people it has been the rule that babies are not allowed to laugh until at least their third birthday. So we would not approve of this type of behavior. Frankly, I'm suprised by your utter lack of morality. I did not realize you were one of THEM.

Liam's better than that. He is now destined for a life of debauchery.

Frosty said...

Man, I SO wish I could go back to a time when someone smacking me in the face with a rag would make me laugh like that. If someone did that to me now, I'm most likely punch them in the face. Sigh. I could learn a lesson or two from your little guy, I'm betting.

B said...

I'm not a baby person but he's adorable!

Ophelia Mourne said...

hahahaha How cute your son is.

I love when they laugh :o)

Daisy said...

I think you taught little Liam a valuable lesson! (he is so cute).

Your son is very cute-your wife must be stunning.

People in the Sun said...

Tara, thanks. I agree--he is cute. His mother must be stunning.

Xbox, that baby freaks the shit out of me. Is he German? German people freak me out even when they're cute.

SJ, thanks. Be strong! Be a man!

Jude, hey, thank you. He doesn't pee himself ever, because he's a good boy from a good family. And I bet his mom is stunning, too.

Dan, and the first time you hear it, all you want to do is hear it again. But sometimes a rug in the face doesn't do it. Yesterday it was the woman in the dry cleaners. He thought she was the funniest thing invented only for his pleasure. She does have a funny way of saying suit. Somehow it becomes two syllables.

Pelkyi, funny, but where I come from it's the exact opposite. Babies are allowed to laugh only until they're three. Then they join the army. I know things are different over here, which is why I smacked him with a burp cloth. But even that didn't make him stop.

And what about our business deal? We need money so my stunning wife could stay home and comb her hair.

Frosty, see, he doesn't know he's supposed to be offended by it. As long as you take that out of the equation, it's pretty fun. Actually, I just did it to myself. It's kinda of annoying. I might punch myself.

B, that's okay. I wasn't a baby person before I met him. (didn't you have a blog with a different name before? Unless there are two people from Baltimore who love Dexter).

Ophelia, thanks. You should see his stunning mother. I can't wait to hear her laugh for the first time.

Daisy, that's right. Baby or no baby, I show no pity. Today it's a burp cloth--tomorrow, a dish towel!

Anonymous, she is pretty cute. I'd do her.

Mr. People in the Sun,

I sent you an e-mail re: the chance of a lifetime. Did you not receive it?

People in the Sun said...

I did see it now. For some reason it was, along with an online casino, in my spam folder. I talked to the head of Google, and he apologized.

Woozie said...

You should teach him to say "Obama", after that CNN piece on it it's all the bee's knees.

Dave J. said...

That was awesome. My face hurts from the smiling!

People in the Sun said...

Woozie, apparently, he's voting for Aaaa.

Dave, it's a new adventure every day, isn't it?

Angelika said...

Isn't it insane the things that make babies laugh?

My son used to laugh if I shook a plastic bag (like the kind you get at the grocery store) or just said certain words, LOL.

Liam is adorable. :-)

Olga, the Traveling Bra said...

He's got YOU trained REALLY WELL!!! :)
Liam is A-DOOR-ABLE!!

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

You did teach him - he looks obviously terrified!!!!!!!!!!!
KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is such a DOLL!!!!!!! How can you not spend ALL your time smothering him in kisses?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Woozie said...

Aaaaa is a fascist, he should vote for Buhbuhbuhbaa

cooper said...

Wow, is that all you have to do to make babies laugh?

I didn't realize it at first but I was smiling pretty wide during most of this video.

He is adorable as can be.

I hope future research doesn't find burp cloth bashing to have detrimental effects on future prowess in the sport of Curling.

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

Cooper - I'm sure they'll find that burp cloth bashing leads to nostril or elbow cancer or something. But a week later they'll find out that improves IQ by umpteen percent and cures liver disease. You pays your money, you take your chances... :-) :-) :-) (Says the gal who buys organic all natural peanut butter in a GLASS jar 'cause the plastic probably leaches chemicals...)

People in the Sun said...

Angelika, thanks. But when does he get ticklish already? I need to have a "sure thing."

Olga, you're right. He knows I'm easy to please. All he needs to do to make me smile is smile.

Jill, I can't. I have a blog to maintain. He is cute, though, I have to admit.

And I've been pretending not to hear about that whole plastic bottle danger. It's good to know that although they keep giving us conflicting information all the time, the only constant is that peanut butter is yucky. (I'm sorry. I'm a Nutella kind of guy).

Woozie, Buhbuhbuhbaa? That sonofabitch owes me money!

Cooper, I don't see how some harmless fun could be a problem. After all, professional curlers usually leave home at the age of six months, with only a broom, matching pants, and a dream.

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

Nutella?!?!?! Really?!? That's stuff's yummy, but I'm pretty certain it will kill you off even faster than non-organic peanut butter... Plus, doesn't it come in a plastic jar?!?! I wouldn't worry so much about drinking the milk out of plastic bottles I think, but I probably wouldn't store or heat milk in them. Our Stolen Future by by Theo Colborn, Dianne Dumanoski, and John Peter Meyers is really good if you ever feeling like becoming as paranoid about all the plastic stuff as I am...

People in the Sun said...

Na... I'm afraid of being worried too much. Is that a paradox?

My first paradox. How exciting!

Mickie said...

You wanna know what's so funny? Baby Peeps is giggling because he's imagining when he's a big, strapping teenager and he gets to wallop you back with a brick wrapped in the same burp cloth.

Oh yeah, no one's warned you about the EVIL TWIN phenomenon? Get ready, 13 years from now. It'll look like Peeps Jr., sound like your him too, but...

Ricardo said...

He's got the look to be the next youtube sensation.

People in the Sun said...

Mickie, he already punches me in the face and pulls my beard. (Sometimes I have a beard). I laugh it off, but maybe he knows exactly what he's doing... I need to be careful.

Ricardo, ironic, because his father has the perfect look for a voice-over artist. Stunning mother, though. (Honey? You're still there?)

Paaaah!

Anonymous, I know who you are! (You should probably wait a week or two before you try this with the new girl).
