Makeup blog: To laugh or not to laugh, that is the question.

     I'm quite relieved that I am not the only person to find a drink child amusing. Yes, it's wrong. Yes, it's mildly disturbing, but yes, the story  The Drunkard made me laugh.  In my life, I've seen alcohol at it's highs and lows. As a kid I remember several occasion of loving when my family was intoxicated and would roll around on the floor and play with me or start randomly dancing in the street! But I also remember hating it when the drinks would give my family members a short fused temper or send them and their families into a whirlpool of trouble and saddness.  Seeing what bad it can do kind of makes me feel guilty for even laughing  at this story. I mean, here is a kid who from such a young age is already following in his alchoholic father's footsteps- which, if the mother is anything to go by, has not exactly been a good thing in their lives.  So should we -I- be amused by this story?  I know it's intended to be humorous.... And apologizing to a wall for running into it is funny... But is the story itself, truely funny?
