　　I really hadn’t meant to yell(吼叫)at them．But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen．

　　With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk．Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault．A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly．

　　“OK, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting! ”shouting angrily．I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me．“Get away from us! ”he shouted back．There being expression of support from his sister．

　　All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself．Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers(螃蟹螯)and crawled towards them, “Crabby(似螃蟹的)Daddy is here．Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them! ”My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time．My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well．Still, I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way that my children could do after．

　　Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming?This is a lesson that serves myself．It only shows just how to get rid of something(ill-feelings, responsibility…)by blaming others．It’s not my“best self”．

　　We have to search for our “best self” when with our children．They don’t need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better．Here, I’m reminded of the words of a great thinker．“When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook…”Then, in our lifetime．Couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world?And before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?

　　There's an old saying that laughter is the best medicine．No matter whether it's caused by a good joke, a cute child or pet, or a pie in the face of a comedian, the simple act of laughing offers medical benefits．Laughter has been shown to reduce stress and help people lose weight．It's a special tonic(滋補(bǔ)品)for older people, who are prone to loneliness and sad thoughts．

　　In fact, in more than 1,000 American communities, and a couple thousand more around the world, entire clubs have been formed so that people can get together and laugh! U．S．clubs have names like "Laugh-a-holics," "the Ha-Ha Spa," "Granite State Giggles(傻笑)," and "Judy's Joyful Laughter Club．"

　　The idea started in India, where laughing is an oral yoga(瑜珈)exercise using discipline, mind power and a good belly laugh．Laughter is certainly contagious(傳染性的)．Only a determined grouch(脾氣壞的人)could avoid at least smiling when others around him are laughing till it hurts．That's why members of laughing clubs don't just get together to howl with laughter themselves．They meet on street corners, in train stations, and other public places, laugh their fool heads off, and invite everyone around them to join in．

　　Laughing clubs have become so popular that one can even get training as a "certified laughing leader．" And the key qualification? You have to be really good at these, chortling, chuckling, howling, snickering, cackling, tittering, giggling and sniggling．

helping people have a good appetite

Because they would like people to share their happiness．

Because they need a large space to laugh．
