We sat down in this brightly lit room and their worship started. They don't play instruments, it was all singing. Let me tell you, these people ALL sounded like angels. It was incredible, I’ve never in my life heard so many people in one room with vocal chords that worked so well.
We both have awful singing voices . Without the loud speakers and instruments to drown our voices out, we could both hear each other…and it was bad. So we’re sitting there (it’s a sit and sing church) , holding a music sheet singing along and Jeff starts giggling because we sound so bad in contrast to the people around us. It was noticeably bad.
Then Jeff started giggling. That made me giggle. The fact that we were giggling made us both giggle more . I whispered to him not to giggle again, I tried to stop it. He tried, but every 7 seconds he would giggle again until I was in an uncontrollable laughing fit.
During my laughing fit, Im sobering up to the fact that the lyrics being sung by the angelic voices around us are about Jesus’ horrific bloody agonizing death on the cross on our behalf….while we’re laughing. I realize how completely inappropriate it is to be laughing during THIS particular song…and somehow, in addition to us both causing each other to laugh, the gravity of the situation makes us both laugh harder. We’re both in an all out laughing fit…I’m laughing so hard, I was actually crying… I had to put my head between my knees to try and contain myself…..several times.
This goes in my top ten Jens an idiot moments of my life, and there are plenty of moments. We just couldn’t stop.
Yes I apologized to my friend…he said he didn’t notice.
Y’all can’t take us anywhere. Where is the worst place you found yourself in a derailed giggle fit? Any funerals??
