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 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.
Well, I heard about a man who had his appendix out. When he woke up from anesthesia, he started speaking in a made - up language. He was so serious about it that the nurses thought he might have had some kind of brain issue at first. But it turned out he was just still half - asleep and making up nonsense. 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.
Once there was a baby in the hospital who was so fascinated by the stethoscope. Every time the doctor tried to use it on the baby, the baby would reach out and try to grab it, thinking it was a new toy. It made everyone in the room laugh.
Well, the trend of DIY haircuts in 2020 was quite funny. A lot of people attempted to cut their own hair when salons were closed. Some ended up with really strange and uneven hairstyles that they had to live with for a while. It was funny to see their before - and - after pictures on social media.
One story that stands out is when Reid Hospital faced a major shortage of a certain life - saving drug. The staff worked tirelessly to source it from other hospitals and clinics. They managed to get enough of the drug just in time to save several critically ill patients. This showed the tenacity and resourcefulness of the hospital staff.
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.
