If you’ve ever used autocorrect, you know that funny mistakes can happen all the time. A normal text like “me neither” can turn into “me burger,” and the next thing you know, your friends think you’ve turned into a hamburger!
Humor is good for you. Even the scriptures say it’s good to laugh sometimes.1 Among other things, laughter can…
- Help you feel less stressed or anxious.
- Strengthen your relationships with others.
- Remind you that some things aren’t a big deal! Your friends will know you’re not actually a hamburger!
Try to learn the difference between good humor and not-so-good humor. For example, laughing with people is a lot better than laughing at people. Use clean language and be respectful of sacred things.
Have fun!
