Dyslexia Humor

Dyslexia humor. Does it sound like a contradiction in terms? Or did you happen on this blog prepared to become very angry, thinking that someone had a nerve to make fun of dyslexia, which is no fun at all.

Nope. No fun at all. We totally agree here at Kars4Kids. There’s nothing fun about the struggle to read in a world where reading is key to everything we do.

Dyslexia Humor: Letting Off Steam

That said we feel that having a sense of humor goes a long way toward releasing pent-up tension and stress, especially toward the end of the week when it seems that if we have to cope with even one more weekday we’ll go out of our minds. The frustration mounts until we’re longing for a way to let off steam, at work or in school. All the more so, for anyone who struggles day in, day out with a learning difference. That might be an adult or a child, a man or a woman. Unfortunately, dyslexia is an equal opportunity thing.

We find that with dyslexia, or with any other learning difficulty, perspective is everything. If you can laugh at yourself for the mistakes you make, you’re more than halfway there to feeling better about yourself. We promise. So take a deep breath and prepare to be amused.

There. Now wasn’t that fun? Since you were such a good sport, we’ll give you another, a particular favorite of ours, here in the K4K office:

Felt good to laugh, right? See? We told you. Sometimes you just gotta laugh to get those endorphins flowing and your mojo back. Reading may be difficult but guess what? You win. Because you’ve kept your sense of humor about you.

Now do a good turn and share this blog piece with someone you know who’s struggling (with reading or something else) and in need of a good laugh. Oh, and before you do that, leave a comment below and tell us if you’re feeling better now. We really hope so. If you like this one, we’ll be happy to bring you more joy in this space.

Your wish is our command.
