I saw the picture of the bunny on Facebook and the caption read as follows “Rob the giant bunny with his miniature piglet friends” It doesn’t get any better than this, my hubby’s name is Rob and he is as cuddly as a giant bunny and one of his best friends resembles a little piglet, our little Jack!
We have called Jack our little piglet since he first came to us with his adorable markings, not to mention, the adorable way he asks for food and the fact that he will eat anything that is offered, vegetable, fruit, cookie, ice cream, anything.

I love these two pictures!

Too funny? Not funny?

Can anything be funny, or are some things off limits?

I am pretty sure that the answer to that question is the existence of another question "Too soon?" That simple question proves that there are certain topics that only become funny after a certain amount of time when the pain has worn off and the underlying ridiculousness can be appreciated. I have heard that phrase a few times from stand up comedians when they, I suppose, are testing the waters to see how the audience responds and the "Too soon?" gives these comedians a graceful out,if you will, to go onto safer ground.

Another area that I think is off limits is when a pratfall injures the person. I happily watch "America's Funniest Home Videos" because I know that they won't ever show videos where the people have been seriously hurt, their pride probably bruised, but not their physical person. I laugh only because being the biggest klutz in this family, I empathize with the person falling and it is only by the luck of the universe, that I have yet to be video taped in any of my most awkward moments. I laugh at myself the longest and the loudest because I can only imagine how funny it must be to others and that cracks me up every single time. I can't help it and the more I try to squelch it, the harder the laughter comes, until tears are streaming down my face and I can't talk or barely breath, it borders on the pitiful.
