The Greatest Sound in the World

Many times over the last few weeks, I've had the opportunity to hear the most wonderful sound in the world. I haven't yet had the presence of mind to go get the voice recorder in order to capture it, but I hope to do so soon.

This most wonderful sound could brighten the day of anyone, even the grumpiest sourpuss. It is the sound of Dorothy laughing. When we're playing, and I (for example) rub the top of my head on her tummy, she gets this ultra-excited giggle that, to a totally objective observer, might not seem like much. But you can feel the pure joy she's experiencing, just by hearing her laugh.

If only I could bottle that sound and sell it, we wouldn't have to worry about paying for her college. The only concerns would be what to do with all the addicts, who can't survive without their next hit of Dorothy Laughs...
