Make a Joke of It
I’m working on my Happiness Project, and you could have one, too! Everyone’s project will look different, but it’s the rare person who can’t benefit. Join in----no need to catch up, just jump in right now.
Everyone says, and it’s true, that one of the most effective ways to handle negative emotions is to lighten up. __71__If you’re angry, joke around. Easier said than done, however. I had a chance to keep my resolution to “make a joke of it” last night. My husband finally took on the job of dealing with my daughter’s adventure in orthodontia(牙齿矫正术). The orthodontist’s office is right around the Corner from his office, and he agreed that he’d schedule the appointments and take her. This was GREAT!
On our flight to Kansas City for the holidays, the Big Girl lost her “functional appliance” which she wears in her mouth. __72__We got back home a week later, and the Big Man didn’t call to make an appointment! Days went by. I reminded him periodically, but nothing happened.
__73__Last night, I stamped into our bedroom ready to turn on my anger at full volume. “This really matters, this is important, she’s growing now, what’s the point, it’s expensive, you promised you’d do it.” Etc. Then I thought, “Make a joke of it.”
So I went over, put my arm around the Big Man, and said nicely, “You know what? If you don’t call the orthodontist’s tomorrow, I’m going to be very angry. I’m not threatening, just giving you fair warning.” And I laughed while I said it.
“I know, I know!” he said, shaking his head. “I’ll send myself an Email right now.” And he did. __74__
I’m not sure if making a joke of it was more effective than getting angry, but I don’t think it was less effective. I was happier about it, and the Big Man was happier about it. __75__
It’s easy to say “make a joke of it”, but it’s hard to do when you’re feeling angry, scared, bored, or upset. Have you found a way to get yourself to make a joke?
A. And today he made the appointment.
B. If things are sad, try to find a reason to laugh.
C. We looked everywhere on the plane; it was gone.
D. If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.
E. You’d think flight rage is a uniquely Chinese problem.
F. And it was a much nicer way to have that unpleasant exchange.
G. Whenever I thought about this delay, I became extremely annoyed.
