[QUOTE="nvts, post: 404034, member: 3814"] Just curious I guess. I've been told that I tend to see things with humor, but I get the biggest kick out of cynicism/sarcasm. Now in the past, I've always found that type of humor funny, but not hysterical. After I made an observation on facebook - I was told that my outlook on life is based on cynicism or irony. I always thought of myself as rather "open to the joke", willing to laugh at myself and situations. This is why I can endure a 10 hour marathon of "America's Funniest Home Videos" without slitting my wrists. So the question is: do you think that we've become more sarcastic or more willing to laugh at irony since we've been subjected to a life with a difficult child? By the way - the particular post that I put up that prompted this observation was: "Good mommy's let their kids lick the beaters - Great mommy's turn the mixer off first". Beth [/QUOTE]
