Letter from the editor

I had this newsletter written by Saturday evening and I was polishing it for submission ... until the late news came on. One special segment announced a study about humor and babies, and the relationship humor has on a baby's cognitive development.

We all know the funny things babies do, sometimes by themselves, but more often while interacting with others. High chair and crib antics, peek-a-boo, and the always popular Tease. You know--holding something out to you only to snatch it away when you reach for it. Babies can be effortlessly funny, often entertaining themselves for long periods, and generally making our lives brighter.

Babies bring out a lightheartedness in adults. Watch anyone interact with a baby. Parents and family friends--sometimes even perfect strangers--don't mind playing the clown when coochy-cooing a baby. All of a sudden adults are fluent in baby language each vying to entice the infant to mimic bizarre gestures. You'd think Dad scored a touchdown after being successful. *Rolleyes*

Somewhere around nine months of age, babies realize that they have the power to make us laugh, a mantle they assume with great relish.

The study stated adults underestimate the importance of humor to babies, and even to young children. The need to be silly, to learn to laugh, may be one of life's earliest and most critical lessons. A lesson that is slowly eroded and forgotten as we grow older. Circumstances, stresses, and a myriad of responsibilities have ground out "funny" bone to dust, despite hearing of other studies that claim daily laughter can improve our health and add years to our lives.

We must take time to remember that which we first learned as babies. If we can't laugh at ourselves and the world around us, then we're not living life to its full potential.

In the words of Christian humorous, Ken Davis, "We need to lighten up ... and live."

Ask & Answer

As a guest editor, I'm afraid I have no feedback to offer.

Tell me if there's a specific type of comedy that tickles your funny bone. Or, perhaps make some suggestions for a future issue. Thanks for spending time with me today.
