Mirth it up...

Mirth...

Websters defines it as: gaiety or jollity

Jollity?

Are we kidding with that word?

Thats a real word?

According to Websters it is. 

Alright, jollity is my new favorite word. 

So...mirth. 

Its a weird word. 

Not to be confused with myrrh - the spice mentioned in the Bible that the wise men brought to Jesus.

Not to be confused with the USS Mirth which was a minesweeper in WWII. 

On a side note the USS Mirth was sold to the Russians later and they renamed it the T-275. 

I feel bad for the Mirth. 

Too spend your whole life named the Mirth and then get renamed something that sounds like a calculator an Engineer would have to use. 

What a bummer.

Anyway...I misuse the poor word mirth all the time.

So there are several pictures that come to mind when I hear the word mirth. 

Here are a few:

"Watch out minion. Your mirth is showing. "

"Hey! You are covered in mirth!"

Its not just boys that get the mirth. 

Apparently it affects grown men too:

And grown women:

Mirth can affect all kinds of people:

Older people aren't immune to it, either.

My Grandmom comes down with a terrible case of it any time she is around children.

Mirth. 

I'm a fan.
