At a baby shower, there was a guessing game about the baby's birth date. One guest was so confident in her guess that she bet she could do 20 push - ups if she was wrong. Well, she was wrong and had to do those push - ups in the middle of the party. It was quite a sight.
One funny baby shower story involved a diaper cake. The guests were all admiring it when suddenly the top layer fell off. Instead of getting upset, the mom - to - be started making jokes about how the baby was already making a mess. We all had a great laugh.
There was this one time when a baby in the hospital was given a small injection. Instead of crying like most babies do, this little one let out a big, long yawn right after the injection. It was as if the injection was so relaxing that it made the baby sleepy. All the nurses were amused by this unexpected reaction.
One really funny story was about a newborn who, during his first bath, was so startled by the water that he let out a high - pitched squeal. But then, as soon as his mother started singing softly, he calmed down and seemed to enjoy it. It was a mix of funny and heartwarming. There was also a baby who would make a really loud snorting sound when he was sleeping, as if he was imitating a little pig. His parents found it so endearing and it always made them chuckle.
At one baby shower, we played a game where we had to guess the size of the mom - to - be's belly with a piece of string. One guest was so off, she thought the belly was as big as a beach ball! It was hilarious.
One story I heard was about a babysitter who was trying to feed a baby. The baby made a mess with the food, smearing it all over his face and then tried to feed the babysitter with the same spoon. It was really funny.
I heard about a woman who gave birth in an elevator. The elevator got stuck between floors and the paramedics had to work quickly. By the time they got her out, the baby was already there. Everyone in the elevator was so shocked but also couldn't help laughing at the unexpected situation.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
The one where a cat got stuck in a box and thought it was being sneaky while everyone could see it. It was quite funny.
I remember a story where a baby boomer was trying to use a self - checkout machine at the grocery store. They got so frustrated with all the instructions and prompts that they ended up yelling at the machine, 'I just want to buy my groceries, not solve a puzzle!' It was quite a sight.
