Vinnie, what if you know it's really wrong to laugh at something, but that something is so unintentionally hilarious and sad that you just can't help it?

Well, MG. In that case, you should try to focus on your personal calming color - for me it's lavender -

natch.

Very funny. You should visualize yourself breathing in your calming color and breathing out an image of whatever it is that's creating conflicting feelings.

Hm. I guess I could try that.

And then you should whisper in Auntie Vincent's ear what on earth is so funny!

Okay. I know this is bad. I know there's solemn intent behind it. But Joanne's little get-together gathering for her cat on Friday, the invitation calls it--

Oh my god! The Meowmorial! I almost died!

Right?

Oh, yes. That will take more than color breathing. In that case, I have to recommend going into the bathroom and laughing into a mitt of toilet paper til it passes.

Now you're talking.

And then slap yourself for being a bitch.

That was more or less my plan. Thanks, Vin.

No problem, sweetie. Remember to dab at your eyes when you come out. Let them think you were crying instead of laughing.

It's getting harder to tell the difference every day.
