Funny Stories That Make Everyone Laugh at Our Get-togethers
As time goes by, the people we meet change, but some legendary stories stay with us. One of my favorites to recount at get-togethers is the tale of my dream blue couch. It’s a story that always brings a big chuckle from the audience.
The Missing Couch in Madrid
Flashback to 2006, Madrid. After a long day at school, I'd come home to my apartment around 9 PM and spot a beautiful blue couch in front of my building. Excited, I called my then-husband and told him about this potential new couch. It was a drastic improvement over the oversized, uncomfortable green and orange monstrosity that had come with our furnished apartment. We discussed and decided it was perfect, so I went to measure it and then went to retrieve it – down three flights of stairs. But as we were bringing it in, a surprise awaited: the couch had vanished. In its place was a giant vanity with a 6-foot-long mirror and drawers on the side. That's the story of why our house has a giant mirror instead of a couch. The limited space made the mirror a better choice. So, whenever I visit my sister and her friends on New Year's, we're always thankful the couch isn't there, as the airbed fits everyone comfortably!
A Jailhouse Romance Unfurls
There's another story about two of my friends, Nitin and Navin, that never fails to make us laugh. They were close and Nitin had a girlfriend whom he would regularly call on the phone. He allowed Navin to talk to her in a friendly way, which was quite a bonding experience for them. But, tragedy struck when Nitin broke up with his girlfriend over some issues.
After a few days, we discovered that Navin had started dating the same girl, which caused a bit of tension between the two. Nitin initially acted as if things were fine, but in reality, he wasn't. Navin had a trustworthy car, so a few days later, the girl sent a text to Nitin, asking him to drive her and Navin somewhere, promising to find a quiet place to be alone. To our amusement, Nitin showed us the conversation and we laughed so hard! Now, that incident has become a part of our every get-together, often told during those moments when we need a good laugh.
