Oh, yes. I've done this.
I was in college. I was with my girlfriends. And I laughed so hard I wet my pants. And that made me, and everyone else, laugh even harder. (Why do you think the girls on the cover are sitting with their legs crossed?)
I was in good company because I wasn't the first sorority sister to laugh so hard she wet her pants. But that's what happens when you're having a great, raucous, hilarious good time with friends. You laugh. You laugh so hard it hurts. You laugh until you can't get your breath. You laugh until you're doubled over and tears are streaming down your face. And when you look at your friends doing the same thing, you laugh even harder.
Laughter feeds laughter.
I love to laugh. I make it a point to have a good laugh every day. It's just not a good day until I laugh about something for a few seconds. If I can laugh for a few minutes, even better. If I can laugh until I can't catch my breath, it's already been a great day.
I may not enjoy wetting my pants, but I do love to laugh. Sorority Sisters was written to make you laugh. I hope you do! I also hope you make it to the bathroom in time.
Have you ever laughed so hard you wet your pants? Who were you with? Who makes you laugh?

Yes, that has happened to me! It seems to happen when the soon to be in laws are around. They are the bunch that tries your patience a little, but makes you laugh a lot. They are the ones who months later you can think back to a certain event and laugh almost just as hard. The lasting memories are great. I always try to make people laugh. I have always been that way. Hey, it earned me the class clown award in school! Other Half and I have this thing where we set out to make each other laugh every day. Not tell each other a joke or anything, but just a funny “listen to this story” type of thing. Most times it comes naturally. So, Other Half makes me laugh, and many times you guys here at TGB do. Everyone has their own witty way that may not be wet my pants laughter, but sometimes its close!

Big D and I do the same thing! My goal in life is to get him to laugh every day. I feel like the day is a bust if I fail. Another Class Clown in the making? LOL

No, but have laughed so hard I nearly passed out from lack of breath. My guys sometimes pull out a high school story that is so embarrassing to them that I laugh u til I’m in pain.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 6:25 am.
Laughing till it hurts. True fact! I love, love, LOVE that feeling.
But now, you know, I’m going to try and get you to laugh until you wet your pants. You don’t know what you’re missing, Fresh (uh, wet, sticky underwear?)

I’ve dreamt that I’ve wet my pants and woke with the unfounded fear that it happened. Can that be good enough?
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 4:35 pm.
I have yet to laugh so hard that I wet myself but I have laughed hard enough to cry and snort. The few times that it has happened I was with my family. They are a bunch of nutters at times but good quality when they aren’t dissing New Guy. Acheron is a good one for making me laugh, especially when he and the neighbor’s kitten are having a rumble.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 6:59 am.
Ooooh, another girl who’s somehow missed the wetting pants laughter? How is this POSSIBLE??? I have my mission before me. . .
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 9:13 am.
Please don’t feel bad about my not laughing until I wet myself, when I fall pregnant there will be times where I will have a light bladder leakage problem. Laughing until I pee myself reminds me of those times when I needed to go and didn’t quite make it usually because someone else was on the loo and were taking forever. Why is it that time seems to slow down to a crawl when you need to go to the loo and someone else is on it and apparently reading a comic?
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 9:32 am.
Isn’t that the truth! Every time I really need to go, someone is there before me. Usually the dog, drinking out of the toilet bowl. Eeewww.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 12:19 pm.
Me too, isn’t always the case. You are bursting to pee. someone’s in the loo, Help! Wet pants before you know it. Blush!
It might be age 42 and two pregnancies.

Sweetie I’m at the age a mere giggle would do it.
I laugh with my friends all the time. But it’s things that you laugh with with friends that others would think were not funny at all.
Like last week when Thumper and Legs and I were out and Thumper decided I needed more leopard print in my life…which is a point I don’t agree with. And lo and behold, apparently this is the year of leopard print and it was everywhere. Hair clips, shoes, dresses, shirts, decorative items… and it all started with the most hideous pair of orange leopard print shoes known to man which I picked up and announced looked like someone killed the Cheetoes Mascot on. Not funny to anyone else, but to us by the end of the day, just giggle worthy.
BTW, Thumper ande Legs not their stripper names. Thumper is a little pixie of a thing who tries to get mad and I just start giggling because it’s like having Thumper yell at you…you just can’t take it seriously.
“Gosh darn it Bambi, everyone says Flower is a prince of the forest but, really all he has is a stinky butt…”
So when she starts going off, I just raise the eyebrow and tap my foot quickly on the ground and she starts laughing.
Legs well…what do you call a 6 foot friend who can’t fit into any economy car comfortably because her legs are too darn long… Whose husband just looks at his friends and says… “Obviously I’m a leg man, and man does she have legs.”
These are two of my friends who wouldn’t just help bury the body, but would ardently agree if I did anything like that it was a shame…but obviously the person “needed killin”.

You had me at Cheetoes Mascot! ROFL I can SEE those shoes!!
What a fun life you live, Pesky!

I don’t recall laughing that hard but I’m sure I have. I’m sure I was with my girlfriends. That’s when the can’t breathe laughing always starts. Usually I’ll get started laughing for no reason, can’t stop and then everyone else catches it too. It always feels so good afterward.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 7:43 am.
It’s cathartic, isn’t it? And they say you use muscles in your face for laughing that you don’t use for anything else. So, really, it’s kind of a work-out.
All about the multi-tasking.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 9:17 am.
It’s been a while since I’ve laughed that hard but I know I have. Loved Sorority Sisters. Wasn’t sure in the beginning whether I would like it or not. There were times I would think why am I reading this but then would go a little further into the book and think oh yeah this is why. By the middle of the book I couldn’t put it down. Wonderful story. Wonderful plot and characters.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 7:58 am.
Oh, thank you so much aida a! What a lovely compliment. I hope it made you laugh, or at least smile a few times.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 9:18 am.
I have never laughed so hard that I have lost control and wet my pants. I do often laugh so hard that I can’t catch my breath and the tears are streaming down my cheeks. Lately it has been at things that my soon to be 3 year old has said. She is very chatty and can come out with some pretty outrageous things. Sometimes I must contain my laughter so that I can scold her, but then I find my self a little private time and give way to the laughter.
When I am with my oldest friend we tend to share stories of childhood antics that cause us fits of giggles and snorts, but it seems to be just us, our hubby’s look at us like we are nuts.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 8:21 am.
Isn’t it fun with kids? They do things that are so funny!
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 9:19 am.
My late sister was sooooo funny. No one could make me laugh like her. We keep laughing about some of the things she would say.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 8:22 am.
What a legacy!! That’s the kind of memory I want to leave behind. Kisses to her, even now.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 9:19 am.
::Snort:: I’m 60 years old. I do this on a daily basis! LOL!
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 8:41 am.
ROFL! Yes, the old bladder ain’t what it used to be.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 9:20 am.
Fifty three and right there with you, PJ !!
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 7:52 pm.
My sister Cathy and my friend Christie Ridgway, who has a very nice laugh to listen to, too.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 8:47 am.
Oh, the pretty laugh! I don’t think I have one, but then, when you’re laughing that hard, you don’t care!
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 9:20 am.
Oh, absolutely! I’m one of those that is a LOUD laugher…
If I get tickled by something, you can hear me in the next county. I love to laugh and I love dry, smart-ankle humor. One silly thing that caught me totally off guard, for example….if you have seen The Avengers, when Tony Stark (Iron Man) takes Clint Barton (Hawkeye) to the top of the building Tony calls him Legolas, which totally made me laugh. Also, Hulk’s “Puny god” quote was hysterical to me. Loved the recent Sherlock Holmes movies (with Robert Downey, Jr and Jude Law) and the most recent Star Trek (with Simon Pegg and Karl Urban–who were utterly brilliant) were SO funny and full of inside humor for fans of the series and books.
Being around my granddaughter is a constant source of amusement, too. She is almost 10 months, and is crawling and getting into everything and learning the meaning of ‘no’ and things like that. The looks that she gives are priceless.
For example, we call this her ‘bitter beer face’ because it looks like that old man in those print ads for whatever beer that was…Keystone maybe?? Anyway, it makes us laugh every time! Enjoy! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/juliebug04/7348078056/in/photostream)
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 9:53 am.
OMG, I had to fight to keep my laughter in when Stark called him Legolas. I don’t think anyone else in the theater got it but me.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 12:21 pm.
My brother has made me do this a few times. He is one twisted, FUNNY person.
I have friends that have brought me to the verge, but luckily I prevented public accidents. I have had to try and repair running mascara and red eyes from laughing till I cried.. and then the sore cheeks and abs.. *sigh* the things we go through for our friends.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 11:05 am.
Isn’t it amazing about the abs!!?!! A belly laugh, uh, yeah it is. Always makes me realize how little I work that area.
Oh, wellllll…
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 12:22 pm.
My Facebook fans make me laugh every. single. day. Sometimes a small chuckle, but often a from-the-stomach, so-loud-it-scares-the-dog laugh. I love it!
I also always laugh when my plot group gets together. Even when we’re plotting a serious story, something will set us off. It takes a lot of discipline to get back to work once we allow ourselves that initial moment… but after the work day is done, we return to laughing, over margaritas this time.
Sounds like you had a great time in your sorority. I’ll never be able to look at the cover of SORORITY SISTERS the same way again, now that I know why their legs are crossed. LOL!!!!!
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 11:08 am.
Isn’t that great? Your plot group sounds fantastic!
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 12:23 pm.
Not in a while, thank goodness. My best friend from high school and I used to laugh so hard my stomach would hurt t the next day.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 11:15 am.
Ab. Workout.
That’s all I’m sayin’. Who needs crunches when you can laugh, laugh, laugh your way to fitness?
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 12:24 pm.
I came pretty darn close. It was when my friends were hanging out at one of there houses and we were playing say anything. That game is crazy. Just last week my friend was having a going away party and we were playing Taboo. Another crazy game which my cause one to lose there bladder.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 11:41 am.
Oooh, I’ve never heard of Say Anything. What do you do? This sounds like my kind of game just from the title!
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 12:24 pm.
It has happened to me a few times, usually when I am with my sisters and someone says something full of deliberate irony that makes reference to our personalities. I think the way it is so right on, and all of the history, gives me the laughing fits and I can’t, um, control myself. Stop laughing, I mean
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 1:16 pm.
It’s always the people we know the best who can get the best laughs going. The thing I love about laughter is how contagious it is, and how it feeds itself past a certain point. You get to the point of no return, that land where every new phrase, every raised eyebrow, escalates the laughter.
Bliss!
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:03 pm.
I have laughed that hard before. I have also snorted, cried and just about got sick from laughing so hard. Thankfully, I was with either my hubby or my mom and both are pretty understanding about those things! Its great to have a laugh that hard, no matter the outcome.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 7:31 pm.
Isn’t it a blast? I love to laugh so hard it hurts.
Posted on June 13, 2012 at 9:41 am.
Oh yes, been there, done that!
Backstage at a performance of Otello (the opera) and my leading man has ripped his tights in a very strategic location. No time to change. Seamstress must sew him back into said tights right there. My assignment? Hold “things” in while she sews. The look on the poor guy’s face while she is whipping this needle around his “things” set me off. I could NOT stop laughing! Then the whole situation set me off. Then everyone backstage was set off. To this day I don’t know why the audience didn’t hear us. Saved by the orchestra, I guess. The really bad thing was, we had to go back onstage and sing the rest of the opera with that vision in our heads!
My dogs are always good for at least one wet pants episode a week. Clyde, The Idiot Brother, is usually responsible. Picture an 80 pound golden retriever mix trying to dislodge a five gallon bucket from his head while running around a dog run howling. He went through more contortions than Harry Houdini and still couldn’t dislodge it. I was such a bad Mama I couldn’t help him because I was laughing so hard.
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 8:04 pm.
OMG!! Louisa, that is the funniest story!! I can just see it!
Posted on June 13, 2012 at 9:41 am.
My gal pals can make me laugh, and laugh. In fact on our upcoming Gal Pals weekend this summer, we all need to bring our Depends with us now….
Posted on June 12, 2012 at 10:34 pm.
LOL That is so fun, that you plane Gal Pal Weekends. What a great tradition!
Posted on June 13, 2012 at 9:42 am.
I’m sure that it’s happened a time or two. My 8 yo daughter has the talent to make everyone laugh with the one liners she shoot a off when you least expect it. This last school year I was helping in the classroom with an art project where this one very difficult boy was not sharing the markers with his seat partner. I told him that if he didn’t start sharing his project, I’d take away his project and he wouldn’t be able to finish it. My dd was at his table at the time, piped up with, ‘She will do it. You don’t want to mess with my mom.’. I didn’t say anything at that moment, but I did share the story with her teacher after school, and we had a good laugh. In class another time when the boys were complaining about a movie the teacher was showing, she said, ‘She’s a teacher. She HAS to show us educational movies.’
My ds has a laugh that makes me and a whole lot of people smile when we hear it. Now, that he’s 12, I’m just afraid that we might hear it less with him starting middle school.
Posted on June 13, 2012 at 12:09 am.
Oh, that is adorable! I hope you don’t lose your ds to Middle School Mind Rot. Some kids avoid it.
Posted on June 13, 2012 at 9:43 am.
I’ve never wet myself, although I swear, I must have come close.
My most embarrassing laughter moment was in the movie Steel Magnolias. The funeral scene. I was laughing and crying at the same time, and making some sort of horrendous noise. The people around me were concerned!
Sorority Sisters made me do the same thing! I was snorting with laughter right through the tears. Thank goodness I was on my front porch alone, or I would have embarrassed myself again! I loved the book. LOVED IT! Thanks for such a beautiful story!
Posted on June 13, 2012 at 6:59 am.
LOL! To laugh so hard that people think you’re having a fit? That’s laughing like you mean it!
Thank you for saying that about Sorority Sisters. I’m so THRILLED that that was your response—-exactly what I was going for.
Yay.
Posted on June 13, 2012 at 9:44 am.
We laugh all of the time at work. I have the best group of ladies to call “co-workers”. The one always says she laughs to tears run down her legs..lol.
