Humor is A Funny Thing

My life basically consists of strange situations, but the one I have to deal with the most is people talking about their fathers or when teachers ask questions about family. Over the many years I have lived, I've learned to tie humor into practically everything from awkward situations to sad situations. A lot of people actually think that my humor is more dark than other's, but that's only because it's my way of coping. It's been a little over 7 years since my dad died from a motorcycle accident, but I still have problems actually opening up about it to this day. The only way I can talk about it is when it's in a humorous form. For example, my friends were having a conversation about their fathers and the funny things that they did, and I would suddenly say "well, my dad was stupid enough to fall asleep on a motorcycle. He definitely won't be able to talk to trees anymore". (The tree part is usually after the fact that I've already told them about this time he got so drunk that my mom found him outside talking to a tree.) The point is that anything involving fathers is strange to me since I've been without one for a while now, so anytime someone brings it up, I instantly make some really weird and dark joke. Let's just say my friends don't bring it up anymore because I basically make them feel bad. I've kind of learned to hold it in though unless I'm with really close friends because the only thing I hate more than liers is pity.
