I Am a Giggle Bug
FOUND by Allen Jones
in Louisville, Kentucky
Found in a classroom I was helping clean. Apparently students were forced to write letters of apology to their teacher when they got in trouble and we found a whole stack of them. This one stood out.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
She's lying. Don't believe her. However, I do like how she requests treatment for her condition.
What's the treatment for gigglebugitis? Can I have some?
I have a confession. I too am a giggle bug. As far as doctors know, there is no cure for such a serious condition. (though nothing can be serious for us giggle bugs.)
Is there anyone who she CAN sit with?
Acknowledging your problem is the first step toward finding a cure. For everyone out there who suffers from Giggle Bug Syndrome, know that there is help, and you don't have to feel alone (though you may end up having to sit alone in class)
This is so strange to me.
As I was reading it, I almost thought it was something I had written.
My 3rd grade teacher, Mrs.Allen always called me and my friend "giggle bugs" and we would get in trouble for talking.
If not for the date and name, I would have been convinced this was mine.
I giggled all the way through my wedding vows - my mom was SO angry with me
Dont worry, vicki, i'll probably do the same at my wedding...
I have had a REALLY bad few days.
I have a disability, most of my friends don't know and my department at university doesn't care. As a result I may fail my degree.
This is the only thing that has made me smile since coming to the realization that I may never manage to be a success.
I wish I was a giggle bug.
Thanks.
Glum Chum - Why would you think a degree would make you a success is completely wrong. Try being happy - THAT`S success !
Isn't school out in July ? And I do believe they have a cure for gigglebugitus,it's called stress.Keep giggling Destiny L.
i hope you enjoyed summer school you flirt. gooood luck in high school.
This find really bothers me for some reason! The idea behind this form of punishment is ridiculous in my opinion. So I have to apologize? What if I don't mean it?
Poor kid. Let her giggle.
Dude, I think I had that same teacher.
Your comments are making me giggle.
seriously, this poor kid - let her effin' giggle. she seems pretty sincere, or at least has already quite mastered the manipulative/disingenious apology - took me twenty years and several boyfriends to get that down.
I'm a teacher, and I've read my fair share of apology letters from entire classes, especially when I was a sub. I love them, and I save them all. The best part of the note is the request for help with her "disease".
Ha! I'm used to these wanting your web location, not your actual map location. Sheesh! Sorry...it's late.
someone should tell her there is NOTHING wrong with being a giggle bug.
giggle-bugitis is a common condition, primarily suffered by pre-pubescent and pubescent females, and generally outgrown by age 18. This, too, shall pass. (sadly)
I think Destiny L may have been in summer school as a result of having giggled through the regular school year.
Glum Chum, I sincerely hope that things are looking up for you.
I'm surprised by everyone's sentiments about this girl. She sounds like a spoiled little bitch who is used to getting whatever she wants by simply asking for it. Life doesn't work that way. I hope Mrs. Allen made her sit next to Kelly.
First of all, no one should ever name their child Destiny. Ew. (And the fact that she is Destiny L probably means there is at least one other Destiny in the class, hence the need to differentiate by first initial of last name.) Secondly, no one should ever name their child Dontay (and if you must for some reason, at least spell it Dante). Clearly, this is an inner city school.
Lastly, I agree with the guy above. Destiny had me at first, and I thought it responsible of her to recognize her problem and attempt to deal with it. But the inclusion of "I don't get along with Kelly" lost me. What a spoiled little brat.
Oh well, I guess Destiny is a better name than Beyonce or Shaniqua.
I'm 25 year old woman, I have the worst case of the giggles daily! I giggle proudly!
This is so cute and innocent.
It reminds me of the childhood days.
The days when you didn't have much responsibilities.
And, when friends were trying to get along with one another.
Destiny, I, too, am a gigglebug. Regardless of what someone said about most people outgrowing it by 18, some of us are lucky enough to enjoy the lighter side of things our whole lives :-D Keep giggling!
i know i am a year behind and that nobody will read this but why is everyone writing to this girl she probably has never found out about this site and if she has what ever all of you people are redicilious
my bad a month what ever!!
Chrome toaster:
It doesn't disappear in everyone. I'm 34 and I still suffer from it. It can be terribly embarrassing. I can't tell you how many times it hits at the most inappropriate times and there is little you can do about it. The most recent being a couple of months ago during a friends wedding. It was one of the most beautiful, sophisticated weddings I have ever attended, except when an aunt of the bride was singing the lords prayer. The combination or her voice and expression about sent me over the edge. I had the giggles so bad that I started to shake, but I couldn't excuse myself without drawing more attention. I eventually had to pull the fake cough to cover it up. Eek!
At least she's honest. Laughing is the best thing in the world!!
Kid in the Hall. Why are you even commenting here if everyone here is so "redicilious"? (and just how do you pronounce that, anyway? "red-uh-silly'-us"?)
And WTF your second comment? And why has thou forsaken thy punctuation?
(yes, everyone, I know the Kid is not likely to return to read this. 'S'ok.)
Tori, I, too, am a grown human who frequently suffers sudden acute attacks of giggle-itis (giggle-bugitis, whatever.) I giggled reading about your most inopportune giggle moment- I can totally identify, and commiserate! LOL, always.
I love the I apologize, but if you wouldn't mind doing x, y, and z, it would be a lot easier for me. Great, thanks. I feel like I have this conversation with my boyfriend every day.
i thought it sounded like mom told destiny to write the letter. maybe the teacher said something to said "helicopter mom" and mom insisted she apologize. but thats just me... my future kids are gonna hate me.
I'm 21 and still get "gigglitis" (sp?) in class. I usually am not TOO embarrassed, though, I actually like the fact that I can find humor in most situations (even the shitty ones which happen a lot thanks to college).
And to those 2 guys who think this girl is a "whiny little bitch", I thought it sounded like she was pretty sincere, and she was telling the teacher who she didn't get along with to avoid further disrupting the class. Just my interpretation, though. :)
is there something wrong with telling your teacher that you dont get along with a certain person? its certainly preferable to telling the person yourself. One time I told someone in one of my classes i didn't like her, and she burst out crying from the room. . . .so, i think preventing that sort of thing is good. but, it was entertaining, in a sort of macabre way.
Admitting it is the first step, Destiny.
giggling can be bad... a friend of mine called to comfort me on the way to my grandfather's funeral, talkedd for a while, then put another friend (who i once named "gigglebox") on the phone. gigglebox, after brief small talk, asked "so how's your grandfather?" in shock, i told her he was dead.
she laughed.
a lot.
i'm not even completely sure she heard my answer. and i don't know which is worse: that she heard my answer and could not handle her surprise well enough to keep from laughing, or that she wasn't even listening.
we've made up since then, and i said i forgave her, but in my heart of hearts, i don't think i ever really will.
I get in trouble for giggling all the time and made fun of for it.....I even giggled the night I got mugged...I giggle a lot when bad things happen....or when making out....fun fun
I'd like to know which school this was found in....
I was in a car accident in January and the car that I collided with spun us around 180 degrees and totalled my car. As soon as the car stopped, my friend (who is also a notorious giggler) and I looked at each other and after briefly determining that everyone was okay, we burst out laughing until we had tears in our eyes. Why? I don't know. It was terrible. I guess it was nerves. We still laugh over the fact that we laughed. heehee
*giggle*
I hate it when teachers do this. My 7 year old cousin's teacher makes them do this. She also has them tattle-tail on each other at lunch. Shes not cool.
"My name is Destiny L., and I am a gigglebug..."
I too.....am a giggle bug.
My mum is a school teacher and she was having me type up kids names for her one day. There were some shockers but my favourite was "Destiny Lemon". Her parents really can't have thought that one through. The whole time I was reading this find and the posts I couldn't help thinking maybe there is more than one Destiny Lemon in this world...
Not only do I suffer from Giggle Bug Syndrome, but I also have a parasite that makes me have worse outbursts of this syndrome . . . Especially when something humiliating happens to somebody else.. Or if a reflex that expels intestinal gas through the anus occurs somewhere. Is there any hope for my Giggle Bug future?!?! Please help, Ms. Allen. Also- that time you found that dead cat in your desk drawer? .. . That was so Kelly.
