Oh the holy terror that is the giggle loop. I’ll let Jeffrey explain. . .
So this evening we went to a choir performance by one of our new housemates. Jessie was singing the Passion according to the gospel of Mark at her church, St. Luke’s Anglican church. I have not been in a traditional church in sometime and it was both terrifying and exciting at the same time. The choir was good but very solemn. And then “Jesus” got up to sing. . . and did he ever. He trilled his “R’s” and shook when he sang. Then the other guy got up for his solo and did the same, very committed to the part. And then came the giggles. I squeezed Eric’s hand when “Jesus” tried to jump an octave and didn’t quite make it. I started to snicker, then I felt Eric shaking with laughter. I could barely control myself. I was shaking and holding my hands over my face so that hopefully no one could tell I was crying from laughter. I finally stopped only to start back up again as I could feel Eric still shaking from laughter. He finally ignored me and started reading some random flyer that he found so that he could concentrate on something else. It took everything in my body to keep from bursting out in laughter, oh man that sucked and was so much fun at the same time. I love it!
