I guess my talent would be laughing in the face of disaster. I laugh when I'm in pain, I laugh when I'm sad, I laugh when I make mistakes. I laughed when someone crashed into my brand-new car! (Which perplexed my 12 yo nephew to no end and sparked some great conversation about how I handle things that would usually make me angry. I hope I was being a good example for him!)

I used to get really angry and upset about things when I was younger but then one day it's like a switch just flipped (maybe puberty finally ended, lol) and all of a sudden I could see humor in just about anything. In fact it often seems that the worse it hurts, the harder I laugh. (Especially physical pain...I stub a toe and I'm cussing and laughing myself silly.) I even managed to laugh at my father's memorial service after he died suddenly, and his death was probably the most painful experience I've ever had.
