The Navajo have a unique tradition. When a baby is born, it is regarded as the ultimate, precious gift and must never be abused. From the moment of birth, the child is watched over continuously by family and friends, who patiently wait for the child’s first…laugh.

“Has your baby laughed?” is common question posed to parents who have infants around the age of three months. The first laugh of a Navajo child is a very significant event. It marks the child’s final passing from the spirit world to the physical world, meaning he or she is now fully human. This milestone warrants a party, and what a party it is!

Whichever brother, sister, parent, cousin, aunt, uncle, or passing acquaintance is present at the first laugh is deemed to have caused it. The laughter instigator then receives the honored privilege of preparing a special ceremony to welcome the child into society.

Once a baby has laughed, training in generosity begins immediately—a value held in high regard among the Navajo people. At the party, where the baby is considered the host, the parents or person responsible for the first laugh help hold the baby’s hand as he or she ceremonially gives the rock salt, food, and gifts to each guest. There are also bags of candy, money, and other presents that the child “gives” along with the food. [x]

Is this true? lol

Yes it is true. I have had of a few relatives invite me to a A’wee Chi’deedloh "The Baby Laughed Ceremony" however I have not had the privilege to actually attended one personally. The Dine’ peoples believe that babies are of “two worlds” (Earth people & Holy people) when they are born. The first laugh signifies the babies desire to become a part of the Earth People so it is a great cause for celebration.

Help DigDeep bring clean, running water to hundreds of American families. 1 in 3 Navajo homes don't have a tap or toilet. We can fix that.

Elves!! This book is about elves!! I didn't see that one coming.

Now there are assassins, huntresses, witches, royalty and elves/faeries in an Arabian kingdom. Absolutely fantastic.

U know what's a good vibe. Batman struggling w teaming up with other superheroes, not bcos he's used to working alone, but bcos he's so used to teaming up w children

His sense of humour has been completely shot for years, all he knows are dad jokes. He has to restrain himself from saying 'hi tired I'm Batman'. He has lollipops & dinosaur band aids in his utility belt. One time he got in an argument w Green Lantern and blurted out 'i think you need to take a nap'

He once tried to make Clark stand in a corner after he was reckless on a mission, and when Clark pointed out that he was an adult, Bruce stormed off muttering about kids these days and why Clark couldn't be more like Nightwing
