Unlike actual medicine, laughter is free, has no side effects and doesn’t require a prescription. Also, it’s contagious in the best kind of way, spreading smiles and good vibes wherever it goes. Today we’re going to share a funny story about a conversation a father is having with his curious young son and the trouble that follows.

One sunny afternoon, little Dave wandered into the living room where his dad was lounging on the sofa, flipping through channels on the TV.

Curiosity sparkling in his eyes, Dave innocently asked, “Dad, why do grown-ups like to exercise in bed?”

Dad, caught completely off guard, froze mid-channel switch.

Meanwhile, Mom, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, dropped her spoon and leaned closer to the door to hear her husband’s response. The pot could wait – this was prime drama.

Clearing his throat, Dad said, “Uh… because it makes grown-ups happy.” Dave’s face lit up. “I want to be happy too!”

Dad chuckled nervously. “Well, you have to wait until you’re a grown-up, son.”

Dave tilted his head, puzzled: “But who’s going to exercise with me when I’m grown up?”

Dad relaxed, thinking he had dodged the danger zone. “Hopefully, when you’re married, your wife will,” he told his little boy.

Dave nodded thoughtfully, but then his face scrunched in confusion.

He then asked, “Oh…but Dad, if that’s true, why does our neighbor Sally exercise with you?”

The sound of a clattering erupted from the kitchen as Mom stormed in, her face a mix of rage and disbelief.

The ambulance arrived 10 minutes later to help the dad.

And Dave? Well, he’s still waiting to understand why “bed exercises” cause so much chaos.

Next time life feels heavy, find a reason to laugh, it won’t cure everything, but it’ll sure make things a lot lighter.
