According to an article on Psychology Today’s website the average four-year-old laughs 300 times a day, and the average 40-year-old laughs only four.

We grown ups are seriously lagging behind.

Yes, we have lots of responsibilities, problems to solve, people to see, but we also need to lighten up and laugh more.

Which of course, he did.
