if I say to someone you "crack me up",

00:04
what I mean is that they make me laugh quite a bit.
2
4910

I have a really funny family.
3
8910
2820
00:11
Both of my brothers
4
11730
1350
00:13
and both of my sisters are really funny people.
5
13080

00:15
And often, when I am spending time with them,
6
15970
3480
00:19
they crack me up.
7
19450
1730
00:21
They make me smile.
8
21180
1960
00:23
They make me laugh a lot.
9
23140
2200
00:25
They all have a really good view of life,
10
25500
3340
00:28
and they all like finding humor in everyday occurrences.
11
28840
4230

So oftentimes, when I am with my family,
12
33070
3880
00:36
they crack me up.
13
36950
2040
00:38
It's a little windy out here today.
14
38990
2500
00:41
So they tell jokes.
15
41490
2120
00:43
They tell me little stories about their work
16
43610
3030
00:46
or their jobs where funny little things happen.
17
46640
3210
00:49
And oftentimes, when I am at a family gathering,
18
49850
3250
00:53
I am laughing a lot because my family cracks me up.
19
53100
4200
00:57
They crack me up a lot actually.
20
57300
1380
00:58
I really appreciate it.
21
58680
1483
01:01
We have another phrase.
22
61030
1870
01:02
Let me find it here.
23
62900
1240
01:04
Even with the wind.
24
64140
1860
01:06
When you laugh a lot sometimes in English,
25
66000
2100
01:08
we say laughing my head off.
26
68100
3730
01:11
The wind is not cooperating today, is it?
27
71830
2450
01:14
So oftentimes, again when I am with my family,
28
74280
4540
01:18
I spend a lot of time laughing my head off.
29
78820
2780
01:21
My head doesn't actually fall off.
30
81600
2320
01:23
That would be a little bit disturbing,
31
83920
3280
01:27
but when I am hanging out with my brothers
32
87200
2530
01:29
and my sisters and my mom.
33
89730
1450
01:31
She's a really funny lady as well.
34
91180
2290
01:33
I am often laughing my head off.
35

4370
01:37
I hope you're not laughing your head off at me
36
97840
3490
01:41
as I try to control this piece of paper today.
37
101330
2510
01:43
But hopefully sometimes I crack you up.
38
103840
4420
01:48
Crack me up.
39
108260
1160
01:49
And hopefully sometimes you are laughing your head off.
