World laughter day, which takes place on the first Sunday of May every year, was first celebrated in Mumbai, India in 1988. Started by Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder of the Laughter Yoga movement, the day was established to unite people of all nationalities, through laughter.

Today 'Laughter Yoga' and 'Laughter Day' have become extremely popular. It is estimated that there are currently over 6,000 laughter clubs worldwide, spread across all continents.

                  I want to go there because people laugh and do funny stuff, but I want to laugh so I can tell them jokes. If they tell me something funny, then I will laugh too, but I am in a different state and I wish I could go there in real life. I wish I can go there real hard because there are a lot of people that are laughing.

                    Er- If I was there, I would go ha-ha-hahaha ho-ho-hohoho because it makes you laugh. I wish I could be those guys so I could make them laugh and they will go like, "Hahahaha! You're funny!" I wish I could be there to celebrate that day, but I'm in a different state. Fr- That holiday was funny because it makes a lot of people laugh, but I make them laugh, too. I wish I could make everybody laugh so they will keep laughing except me because they won't make me laugh every day. I wish Erik S. was there because I would make him laugh, too and he would make me laugh too.
