Playful arguments would become fits of uncontrollable laughter, and, like magic, that experience would be crystallized into a private joke, and the private joke would get boiled down to a simple phrase, which became a souvenir of the entire experience. For years to come, the phrase alone could uncork hours of renewed laughter. And as everyone knows, the best kind of laughter is laughter born of a shared memory.
In her book "Why Not Me?", Mindy Kaling reflects on how playful banter among friends can transform into deep connections through shared laughter. These lighthearted arguments often lead to moments of uncontrollable joy, creating unique experiences that become treasured memories.
Kaling highlights how these shared moments can be distilled into a simple phrase that encapsulates the joy of that experience. Over the years, just hearing that phrase can evoke fond memories and laughter anew, emphasizing the value of laughter derived from shared experiences among friends.
