A laughing baby

A laughing baby

  As the father heard those words he laughed heartily, patted the usher on the back and said, “Just set your heart at rest, lad. My boy only laughs, he never cries.”Having led the couple to their seats, the usher left. The couple had gone through so much in their lives and now had the“fruit of their love”— Tomy. They were returning to the same cinema, watching the same movie, Titanic, that they had watched together when they first met. Probably some of the audience around them had similar experiences. Some of them were sobbing and even crying. Only Tomy, at first grinning, then chuckling, and then laughing aloud, seemed to be happy. Understanding the baby’s hint, the mother immediately put the soother into his little mouth, which stopped the laughing. However, the boy was so excited that he laughed even louder. The repeat of this eventually drew the usher’s attention. But, what could he do? After all, he didn’t mention that they’d have to leave if the baby laughed. So, everyone endured the baby’s laugh till the end of the movie. As the couple exited, the usher couldn’t help asking why the baby was so happy. “You know, lad. Life is hard. My wife and I have offered toil, tears and sweat for today’s comfortable life. We want our baby to always be happy. We changed some of his genes before he was born so that he would never ever cry. The way he expresses his comfortlessness is laughing.”
