People's laughs are the funniest things. They make me laugh all the time because they are all so unique. Some people giggle behind their hand, some let out a few chuckles and others wheeze in and out: these are all laughs but they mean so many different things when used by different people
In The Wizard of Oz, after the Wicked Witch of the West threatens Dorothy and her dog Toto and poof! disappears behind a cloud of red smoke, her cackle echoes on leaving poor Dorothy shaking in her ruby slippers. Now imagine the same scene: "I'll get you my pretty and your little dog too!"...now picture the Wicked Witch buckling over with laughter, slapping her knee, letting out a few piggy snorts here and there, tears of humor running down her green face. Does that make any sense? If I was Dorothy I wouldn't take the witch seriously...I'd continue skipping down that yellow brick road!
You see a cackle gives off such a different impression; monsters do it, villains do it mad scientists do it. They are all evil out to ,well, do evil!
A giggle is so much sweeter than a cackle and so much more gentle than a laugh. Giggles come out at some of the happiest times: when you receive a compliment, when you are shy-when no words can suffice what you feel. Babies giggle. Babies giggle because they cannot talk, it's their way of expressing without words. Giggles are precious little things that usually have important attachment to them; a wedding proposal perhaps or maybe you will giggle when you meet your movie-star heart throb and just don't know what to say. You never hear a baby cackle-unless you're watching family guy of course.
