Laughter

"Laughs? At you?"
"Duh! What do you think?"
"Just kidding. With you."
"At least that's what i like to think."
"Touché! So, it's laughter."
"Yes, laughter. Like..."
"'AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA'."
"No. Not like that!"
"What then?"
"It's quieter. Less..."
"Less loud?"
"Yes. Softer..."
"A soft laughter."
"Yes. Almost a giggle."
"A giggle? What, like 'ihihihihih'?"
"No, no, no. Not like that either."
"Ok. I'm almost officially lost here."
"Man... you can be pretty thick when you want to!"
"So i've been told."
"See? Eheheheh."
"What? Is it like that?"
"Like that? What?"
"What you just did. The 'ehehehehe' laugh."
"Oh! No... That's a... a 'gotcha laugh'. A 'naughty laugh'."
"Naughty."
"Yes, naughty. You know what i mean!"
"Yes, i do. I think i do. It's just that i'd expect it to be naughty, and you just said it isn't like that." "Well... there are 'naughty laughs' and then there are 'naughty laughs', you know?"
"Oh! Of course! And which one is it, then?"
"A 'naughty'... a... wait... i know... an eggs... exsilly... axile... "
"Exhilarated?"
"Yes, that's it! It pretty much says it all, don't you think?"
"Yes. Yes it does. And it 'fits'."
"It sure does!"
"So. Somewhat quiet, somewhat soft... "
"And joyfull!"
"Oh joy! Of course..."
"And..."
"We could just go on and on, couldn't we?"
"Yes, i suppose we could."
"But we're not going to, are YOU?"
"Er... well... not if you're not interested, anyway."
"I think i got the picture."
"Oh! Right..."
"Right!"
"But you were the one who raised the question!"
"Indeed i was. But now i have my answer. Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"Ok."
