Writer's Workshop: What Made Me Laugh

There is always something going on at my house that either makes you laugh hysterically or scream....hysterically! I have four kids under 5, so things can be chaotic and crazy, but boy do we have some fun things to laugh at. So my funny story for the week actually happened on Tuesday night. I was watching an episode of Lost (yes, I'm way behind the times!) and reading blogs on my laptop, when suddenly there was this weird revving buzz sound. It wasn't super loud, so I assumed it was something on my computer, I'd just opened a couple new tabs on my Internet browser, so I muted my computer and the noise stopped. I figured I'd fixed the problem and went back to what I was doing, but then I heard it again and thought, 'Man, is that a background noise on Lost?' I tried pausing the episode and still I could hear it. Then it clicked, I'd set my Hubby's ring tone on my new phone as a revving motorcycle and that was the noise I was hearing. My phone was by my feet for some reason and he'd been trying to call me. When I answered, I was laughing so hard, because I felt so dumb that I had totally forgotten his ring tone. Hurray for stupid things to laugh at to make your day!

  1. That is funny. It's good you found it funny too than getting mad at yourself like I would probably do. Did your hubby think it was funny?

    1. Once I could talk, since I was laughing so hard and had explained to him what I was laughing at, he did! My Hubby has a great sense of humor! ;) Good thing too, I do crazy stuff like this all the time!

  2. Haha! It took me a good hour to realize I'd left a TV on in another room the other night. I was so sure someone had broken in and was chatting in my living room while they robbed me :)

    1. Thank you! Sometimes I have to pause and remind myself why had them all so close, but I do love them and the crazy they bring to my life!

  4. The last time I set a new ring tone, I was so busy dancing to it that I forgot to answer it. So funny!

    1. I haven't gotten any fun ringtones yet, I've just stuck with what was on my Iphone. I bet I do the same thing when I finally do. I tried using music for an alarm, but found that I just slept through it. ;)

    1. He definitely appreciated my choice, but had to laugh when I temporarily forgot!

  6. Haha! My husband keeps his cell phone ringer volume so high that it scares the heck out of me every time it goes off. You can hear it on the other side of the house!

    1. I can't decide whether that's a good thing or a bad one, obviously not the scaring part. When my Hubby gets a text message it says in a creepy voice 'I see you' Its gone off at Dr's appts and we've gotten weird looks!

  7. Ha! A while back, I set my phone ringtone so that it would bark like a dog. But I had to change it because I kept thinking the dog wanted out!

    1. I can see where that would make things difficult and interesting. I tried the dog bark to wake up to and I couldn't figure out why I could hear our dog inside. She's an outside dog, so I was really confused!

  8. That sounds like something I would do! Thanks for sharing.

  9. This is similar to the time I was freaking because I couldn't find my phone -- while I was talking on it. :) Dropping by from Mama Kat's.

    1. I have so done that before, in fact I did that tonight while talking to my husband. I wanted to check on something I'd been doing on my phone and had a moment of panic when I couldn't find it, til I remembered it was in my hands!
