One Childhood Habit That Refuses To Go
Childhood is associated with so many dramas, some funny, some bad and some good. What I love about it, is the fact that all of them come together to make that period of life memorable. As a kid I played so much, I was given the liberty to explore, I went everywhere I wanted and do anything I wanted, sometimes we get beaten other times we escape hehe.
As time goes on, things started changing, from being extremely stubborn to being calm and reserved. I became the quiet boy and everyone seemed to like my personality yet there was one funny habit with me. I take everything as a joke, even if they ain't funny, I find reason to make jokes out of it.
I laugh at almost everything, especially serious matters, someone can so serious trying to pass a message to me and you will see me either smiling or laughing. Sometimes even when I commit an offence at home and my dad is scolding me, instead of being sober, I would start smiling and if he mistakenly looks at me and smile, I will just burst into laughter.
I can't count the number of times I got severe beating from my dad because of that habit, he hates it so much but am used to it. In my class those days in high school, I was the laughing master, when a teacher is teaching and mistakenly, pronounced a word wrongly or has a funny accent, the class is already Ruined, I'll pinch my friend, he would laugh, from there he would touch another person and that's how we will end up causing confusion.
I was once caught by our English teacher and got punished severely. The man was teaching and I was just trying to laugh, meanwhile nothing was funny, I just wanted to laugh for no reason. When he turned, his eyes had contact with mine, and asked "what's funny? Why are you laughing?" Beloved, I got no evidence, I explain tire. 馃ぃ
Years past I grew, finished college but I am still the laughing guy, it is now so serious that, sometimes I have to tell people I am serious and even show them evidence before they can take me serious over certain things.
I can be so serious and still be laughing. People can also be serious saying something and I would just find something maybe the way they compose to talk and start laughing at it. Now it's not as if I am taking whatever they are doing for granted or I don't have interest on it, NO! I do but, if I don't laugh I won't be okay and the place won't be fun for me.
If I have an opportunity, I would love to erase this habit, not everyone understands that I am not doing it to mock them, someone might take it personal. You know it's life, I don't know where I would find myself tomorrow.
