A Laugh and a Song –Ports in the Storm
by Cheryl DaVeiga

There were two ports in the storm in my loving but sometimes-dysfunctional family…laughter and music.  While my parents’ child-raising skills were challenged, they never missed the humor in a situation or story, and if a sense of humor is inherited, I got that gene. Humor was an apology, a connection, and it somehow made the otherwise crazy stuff okay.

My dad was from North Carolina and country music filled our house.  My NJ-born mother caught the country bug as well—aah, the way the words came together to tell an emotional story, the melodies, and so much glorious harmony.  Singing together was a place of bonding and joy. 

At 4 years old, so I’m told, I would swing on the backyard swing, singing every word to popular songs of my parents’ time….in perfect tune they say.  “Why does the sun go on shining, why does the sea rush the shore, don’t they know, it’s the end of the world, ‘cause you don’t love me anymore”—this from a 4 year old?  Hmmm.  I remember hearing this family story so many times that I think I remember it…or maybe I really do.  Perhaps I was a little older than 4, but who knows. I do remember singing the song and feeling full of joy in the swinging and singing.

And so, through the arguing and misbehavior by the entire family, laughter and music kept the house of cards from falling.  We had just enough of the good stuff for the love and connection to outweigh the negative. 

And so here I am many years later—using humor and song to tell stories—creator of a company with a silly name that comes from a lyric, Biff Bam Booza, and a tag line, that is so ME!--  “Read, Sing and Get your Giggles on.”  A laugh and a song still sustain me in this crazy world.
