I've namechanged because I'm sure I'm going to get called allsorts here ...
But my friend called me about an hour ago crying. I asked "what's wrong?" and she replied "I've lost BigBum"
I said "what??"
and she snapped "The Guinea Pig!"
So I did my best to console her and everything. She's just phoned back, she'd stopped crying and was feeling much better. But when she started going on about the guinea pig by name I had a huge lump in my throat and my voice was strained. Just the name makes me laugh so much especially when she uses it in such serious context eg:
"This morning, I said to DH that BigBum does not look well ... DH said BigBum never looks well ... " etc etc
When she heard my voice go funny she said "aww, are you crying now too?"
I had to rush off the phone. I feel AWFUL. I'm not laughing at the more guinea pig and my friend didn't catch on that I was laughing but DH keeps making me feel really guilty!
Am I truely awful for laughing?
