Tell of a time you laughed so hard you cried...

There are so many of these moments in my life but one sticks out the most right now, probably because it's the freshest in my mind.  It all started on a beautiful summer night on Lake Minnetonka..the kids were in bed and the adults (Dad, Lucy, Mollie,Matt, Bridgette and me) were sitting at the kitchen table playing Apples to Apples.  For those of you who have never played this game, it's hilarious.  There are different topics on cards and the rest of the table has to throw a card out that BEST represents that topic.  Then the person with the topic card gets to pick the card they agree with the most, and that card owner wins the card..... anyhooo.  If you have ever played a game with my dad you know that he isn't a very good loser AND he tries to find a way to win at all costs.  So, the topic was "dangerous" and one of the cards thrown out (by my Dad) was "mosquitos".  So when Mollie was reviewing the card he slaps his arm and says "these darn mosquitos are so dangerous"  The next thing I know, Lucy looks around at the doors and windows to see if something got left open.  She then gets up from the table as Dad slaps his arm again from a "dangerous mosquito", to check the doors.  I started laughing so hard that I couldn't talk.  There was obviously no mosquitos in the house it was Dad trying to get Mollie to pick his card.  We couldn't stop laughing for about 15 minutes.  I spit my beer out of my mouth laughing... now that is bad.  So this story will forever make me laugh and it's something we still are laughing about when we bring it up.  It's probably one of those "you just had to be there moments" but my dad is so darn funny and when we play games he makes us laugh so hard!!  Such good memories.  I love you Dad!  Thanks for all of the laughs through the years.
