Gift #337- Laughing Until You Cry

So, I have been wearing maternity leggings with my dresses lately.  Leggings are like tights without feet.  Maternity leggings are extra beautiful as they have a big panel for your expanding tummy.  I have cut a few pair into shorts to wear under dresses.  They kind of resemble biker shorts with a big tummy.  They are very attractive.  I bought a new pair the other day as I left mine in the hotel in Okinawa.  The only pair that I could find were black with a gray snake print.  I didn't love them, but knew that I would make them into shorts so no one would see them anyway.  Somehow, these leggings ended up in a duffel bag that Sam had won at sports camp.  This bag was full of little prizes- frisbees, beach balls, water bottles, etc.  I just happened to be on the phone with Hank when Sam came in and decided to explore the contents of his new duffel bag.  He had no idea that I was paying any attention to him.  He found the maternity leggings inside the bag and looked so very perplexed.  He must have thought that they were some magical sports pants.  He held them up to his waist and then up to his shoulders.  He put one leg on his arm.  He studied these snake-print spandex maternity leggings for a full five minutes.  I thought that I was going to come undone.  He finally looked at me with sheer disappointment and said "here mom, see if these fit you."  He truly seemed sad that these magical pants were not his size.  He left the room and I relayed the story to Hank.  I laughed until I literally cried and it felt so good!  Thank you Lord for the gift of laughter.  It is so good for the soul.
