To find a quite serious post about meningitis on another forum hilarious?

Ok, I know this is out of order but I was just on another baby forum which shall not be named, and a lady has just found out that another child at her childminders has meningococcal infection. She found out via the Health Protection Unit who phoned her. Anyway, obviously this bit is not funny, but what made me laugh is she obviously misheard the name of the illness over the phone and didn't know how to spell it, so she wrote minge-cockal infection. Am I a horrible person for laughing out loud at this?

Yes, but don't worry, you're not alone.
