👉 Squirming at being made to smile, you can only laugh when you're laughing, so we just play along with your silly jokes and tell the funniest one yet!
Example: You bring up 'tinselmaking' as though it's a common joke. But really, what is "tinselmaking?" Well, it’s all about making others smile by being funny, right? So you say something like, “Oh, I think someone just made me smile.” And then, when the other person says, ‘You’re not laughing at my attempt to make you smile,’ you respond, “Well, I'm not. I’m just playing along.” And that’s how we play along with your joke and tease it until it gets all gagsy.
And remember, if you get really serious about this, you might even say something like, "What a beautiful thing to make someone smile," or "Oh, I know what makes people happy." But hey, we're just playing around here, so let's have some fun!
