It drives me crazy, but it always makes me smile. And remember how long it took Meg Ryan to order her food in the movie When Harry Met Sally. That quirk was even funnier because it maddened her hero, Billy Crystal. Why, I ve seen pickpockets at nudist colonies who were busier n him. Opposites are amusing.
Kids provide instant humor.
They often speak their minds at the most inopportune times. While in line at the grocery store, my son once informed me that his teacher was a prostitute. He meant, of course, that he d had a substitute. These are a few of the various things you can practice to bring humor into a story. And I do stress the word practice.
