Humans laugh when they feel happy or surprised. It's like a fun sound we make to show others we're enjoying something, and it also helps us relax and get along with people better. Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy and you find out it was hiding behind the couch! You might jump up, yell in surprise, and then laugh because it was so funny. Laughter is a way our brain tells us everything is okay.
