The complexities of humor

Posted by admin on Tuesday, 9 March, 2010

Humor seems so simple. If what was happening to father wasn’t so terrible, the changes in his thought process as a result of the brain cancer would be fascinating. Most recently we noticed he is not able to comprehend humorous circumstances like he used to. The impact on his brain certainly furthered the minor paranoia he has had his whole life but it isn’t just that.

Yesterday we found him walking around with our laundry bag. We started to laugh because we had been looking for it for weeks and he randomly found it. Instead of seeing the joke in a situation that involved all of us, he took offense that we were laughing at him. When I exlained the difference and just what we were laughing at, he simply could not comprehend.
