umm, okay, so I have a little problem...

I'm mean! (at least one of my kids thinks so!)  I can not help it, but I have the tendency {like, as in most of the time}to laugh when someone falls or gets slightly injured.{Now, if it is something major, I usually am able to hold it in, but...}  My poor kids, they trip and fall and scrape up their face, and I, the loving mother that I am, I laugh!  I really feel bad for them and run to their rescue, however the laughter is always my first reaction.  Well, it dawned on me recently that my behavior is all the result of watching America's Funniest Videos.  We love that show and I have watched it since I was a kid.  The whole premise of the show is based on people falling, tripping or otherwise injuring themselves and what do we do?  We sit around and laugh at it!  Yep, it's not my fault, so next time something unfortunate happens to you, and I burst out laughing, please don't be mad at me, blame it on AFV!!
