You knew this would happen
Yes, you knew that I couldn't resist writing about my sister's most adorable children, being that I'm here and all. On the way home from the airport the other day, my 5 year-old nephew Brady dropped another philosophical nugget (see the first one here), and it went like this:
Misty (my sister, talking to me): Brady is such a cut-up! You should see him...
Brady: Mama, if you make people laugh, they like you...really!
(Us laughing)
Brady: You know, if you tell 'em a joke, they'll be your friends.
You can't argue with that, can you? I knew I liked him for a reason...

Hey Tracie.
Your nephew is so intelligent. I love kids. So how does it feel to be back home in Texas? Do you miss Ischia?

Wow, it took some scientists (written up in the New York Times this week, no less) a whole human study to determine the same thing, that laughter most often functions as a social lubricator than a response to humor.
