VERY true.
Humor requires intellect. When one sees it the way you do...we say, "I'm laughing WITH you, NOT at you."
Yes, or “I’m laughing at what you said, not at you.”
I “mostly” speak Spanish, too. I once gave a harangue to the congregation about Stewardship, and I started by telling them that if I said something really funny (like be careful about showing bosoms, especially in front of children) it was okay if they laughed!
