I think we need to find that healthy mix...we honestly stay on the sarcastic, jabbing & joking side more than anything...thus why I may just try to be a TAD BIT more sober minded!!Jamie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199048960955155119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944728693529321260.post-62929378528587913022009-01-22T13:39:00.000-08:002009-01-22T13:39:00.000-08:00good thoughts, jamie. i think i understand what yo...good thoughts, jamie. i think i understand what you mean. a lot of times, our family uses sarcasm as a way of communicating and that often isn't healthy. but my hubs and i have always communicated using humor mixed in with the serious stuff. it has helped to curb many an argument and silly disagreement. i agree that teaching kids how to use humor appropriately is important. it's actually giving them a great gift, if you think about it. it can be such a way to put people at ease and relate to others, if it's in good taste.<BR/><BR/>here is a blog post that i remembered reading a while back from someone i respect. she also links to a sermon/lecture from a really great speaker that we like about humor. if you have time to check it out, and give the lecture a listen, you might be encouraged and get some more insight and helpful reflection on the matter!<BR/><BR/>http://ckjolly.blogspot.com/2008/07/dont-waste-your-humor_22.htmlginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599871838824233964noreply@blogger.com
