Family Situation Comedy
What is comedy? You've got to be kidding! I grew up watching the Three Stooges! They introduced me to the finer points of comedy when I was a young child. I practiced many of their skits on my brother, especially during those formative years. Ah, yes, family is a endless source of material.

It is such a pleasure to be a Comedy Newsletter editor. I am Web~Witch, you know, that little double "W" that seems to show up everywhere on this fabulous place known as WDC. Many of you are already familiar with my witty side. After all, the word wit spells the first three letters of witch. Okay, yeah, there is really no connection. I just noticed that myself, actually.
So, what makes us laugh? I never really labored over that question. It seemed that my life pretty much described all those things people laugh at. Yeah, that's right, they were laughing at me. It all began when I was a little girl ...
I grew up the middle child, with bookend brothers. That placement on the food chain is not special in and of itself, regardless of being the only girl. I wasn't the golden child, first born son, in a family of Italian descent. (Yes, I am half French, however, the Italian side, like brown eyes and hair, is the dominant force.) Nor was I the bayyyyy--Bee! Aka, the oh, so precious, little baby brother. "Come here Precious, it's okay ... " Paraphrased a little, nevertheless, I just loved "Silence of the Lambs." Didn't you? However, I digress. 
The point I am trying to make is that being the only daughter in a half Italian family is a big responsibility, without any of the glory and a heck of a lot more restrictions on freedom than the boys ever had. Thus, I had to make life at least a little amusing.
There was one thing I knew for sure, I had no use for my baby brother. I planned little playtimes together when he was old enough for my mother to believe I would not try to bend his fingernails back while he lay asleep in his crib.
One day, I was feeling adventurous while my mother tended to the laundry. In the most angelic voice I could manage, I called out to the kid who replaced me as the baby."J-o-e-y, come here little brother. I have this tool called a screwdriver. If you stick this tool into that plug outlet over there, you will make Daddy so proud of how smart you are." 
Okay, I know what you’re thinking, it was evil, not funny. Nah, it was hilarious! Of course the pie in the face for such a naughty act was my feeling of remorse while watching my brother sizzle under the power of good ol' Edison juice. I tried to pull him away so I wouldn't get in trouble for frying the B-A-B-Y, however, I too became a part of the first rock 'n' roll experience either of us had. So that's how Web~Witch became a groupie!  Oops, that's another story, with a more restrictive rating, folks.
Little Joe became my favorite toy of amusement for several more years. What are a few stitches between playmates? It's all part of growing up as the middle child, with bookend brothers, in an Italian dominated home.
Needless to say, my little brother and I survived childhood. My older brother merely pointed and laughed, and my mother never trusted me to be alone with Joey, again. I'm serious! You think I'm kidding, don't you? To this day, that eighty-two year old woman, fears leaving the room when I am there alone with my brother, Joe. "Don't hurt the baby! " Yes, Ma! Sheesh, give a girl an even break, eh?!! 
Hey, you guys are great! I look forward to spending some more time with you, next month. Your comments and suggestions for an upcoming Comedy Newsletter, are greatly encouraged and appreciated!
Until next time--Laugh hard and laugh often!
