TheChristmasCarol

In December the 17th we had a hard frost. We -I and YoungLady- needed to get ready for a drive through the arctic to Rovaniemi theater. It meant we needed to take enough extra clothes just in case if for a reason or another we end up standing in the woods and unable to continue our journey.

I had booked the tickets for the famous and classic Charles Dickens' The Christmas Carol couple of months ago. 

It indeed was a great show and we enjoyed a lot. We happened to be there with the school kid audience. At one point I laughed aloud a lot. That made the little heads to turn towards me and whisper "that adult laughed" spread among the audience. It caused a bit confusing imperceptible points of the little fingers and nods of the heads towards me. I didn't mind nor care about it. But what happened on the break was that I was given room in the toilet queue and space in the crowds when walking. No kid pushed me or ran against me. They looked at me curious and respectful. THAT made me think what's wrong with us adults??!! Is it so rare the kids to see us laugh happy and funny laughter that it is something remarkable?! I do laugh and have never ever paid attention on it that do the adults laugh or not. After paying attention on this for several weeks now I can say adults usually don't laugh! 

Just for your own sake, try to laugh more on 2025! It makes good to your mental health. Even it would be a fake laughter! Love you!
