I think its a nervous habit, I have no idea. The only time laughing became crying that I remember was from hysterical laughing or being tickled which is the worst thing ever. <br />There is a fine line though I totally agree. I see people snap from crying to laughing a lot in the military, or generally covering it all with laughter.Erica Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047782756627025143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-27669403220271720602010-06-03T10:16:03.757-04:002010-06-03T10:16:03.757-04:00Inappropriate laughter can cause some serious misu...Inappropriate laughter can cause some serious misundetstandings, as my older sister has found out.

I especially laugh when my husband is scolding my middle son and he's a "habitual smirker" and can't help it when he's being scolded so he holds his cheeks with his hands and agrees with everything my hubby is scolding him about. Never mind that he interited this behavior from his dad!Leah (aka Mary_not_Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08912083158121035192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-78433503376262487352010-06-03T09:18:35.803-04:002010-06-03T09:18:35.803-04:00Sorry about your mom.

I have a tendency to do the same thing ... it is really just strong emotions that get jumbled and come out "wrong." But at least extreme laughter is easy to cover up as crying.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-1091065579657450372010-06-03T08:14:31.861-04:002010-06-03T08:14:31.861-04:00Several years ago, a friend and I went to St. Loui...Several years ago, a friend and I went to St. Louis.
