Laughter happens when we feel happy or surprised. It’s like a fun little shout that comes out of our bodies. When someone else laughs, it makes us want to laugh too, just like how one person sneezing can make a whole room sneeze!
Examples
- A child laughs at a silly joke, and suddenly everyone in the classroom starts laughing too.
- You hear your friend laugh while watching a funny video, so you join in even though you didn’t see it yourself.
- When someone makes an awkward mistake, like spilling coffee on their shirt, they laugh, and now you want to laugh too.
