WHY IS THIS BOY LAUGHING

It had been a quiet evening. Mom and Dad were performing at the Interart Annex in their new work: Sam Perspective. It's a great piece of theatre, one of their best. I'm sorry all of you can't see it. Those of you in Zagreb, Croatia, however, can maybe see it in July when it travels there. Reserve your tickets now.

So the eponymous Sam was relaxing with his Grandparents.

And then something happened. Sam began to laugh. And laugh.
I feared he would burst a blood vessel in his head.

Whatever was doing it seemed to be coming from above him.

But then again, maybe not.

Here's a clue. Look what the boy is holding in his hand. He seems to be involved in some kind of game involving scarves.

We should have known.

There's something about the combination of an infant-toddler specialist, someone who does this for a living, and a simply crazy grandma, that leads inevitably to hilarity. This particular game seemed to consist primarily of waving a scarf over her head, followed by a rapid descent to the floor.

And this was too much, even for Grandma. Sam's laugh was so infectious that she eventually completely lost her ability to continue the game. She was laughing too hard.

Just a quiet night at the grandparents.
