Witty vs. Funny

There are certain people in my life that bring out the funny in me. I don't know why but somehow around these people I am witty when usually people and myself included would not describe me as witty. However, these certain people also find me hilarious which is kind of funny to me because I'm not. I'm mostly surrounded by funny people which is the way it has always been. But when I get around Enrique (you know who you are), Jim my fiancee, Kyle F., Sara & Brady M., Karine W., or Chelsey S., we have a grand ole time laughing it up! Not to be confused with the word "fun." I am certainly fun! But Funny goes to my friends and relatives: Carren, Laura, Leah S., Mary, Kyle S., Graham, Kacey, Damon, Carly or Uncle Nate, just to name a few. And there are other people in which I am exactly the opposite, unfunny, as can be. Namely, when I am around my brother, sister-in-law, Uncle Nate, Dad, Tayler, Whitney. Oh wow, they are all family members! Perhaps, because they are all so witty and I just clam up and can't even crack a joke let alone tell one correctly. And then there is Jim. Jim always gets this surprised look on his face when I actually come up with something witty. Now I know people have different definitions of funny and I've been throwing "witty" out there too. I know I can be funny (mostly it is made up of people laughing at me and I'm okay with that) and it is very rare when I'm witty except when I am around those mentioned above. So to all the funny people out there I applaud your efforts. Keep making me laugh. I need it!
