Small favorite story for u.

“It was at the Yamskiye Bani baths (in St. Petersburg - Ed.) in the summer. A woman in the steam room was telling a story of how her husband had been bitten in the scrotum by a tick and the women were discussing how the tick had been removed. It was a colorful and very funny conversation and it brought everyone together; it was full of banter, the women were all shrieking with laughter and you couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It was pure joy,” says Anna Artemyeva.
