I joked at Thanksgiving dinner my sister learned how to make roux (white sauce) when she was 3. My whole family laughed - especially my sister. It was a humorous comment because it was an exaggeration that reflected something real. My sister learned how to make roux when she was more like 8 or 9. She beamed with pride that I remembered such a tiny detail from our childhood.
You made a mockery out of her being better than she really is. So there's nothing to be proud of afterall.
"better"?! It's a fact my sister learned how to make roux when she was young. I made a humorous comment that reflected that fact. It was an intimate moment we all shared. Are you drunk? How is that so hard to comprehend? I have other examples, but you don't really give a shit, do you? Come on, you just want to be an idiot, right? Be honest! That's your goal, right?
Take it easy. I may be an idiot in some parts of life, but really this whole thread is just me being wake.
You make a funny out of your sister being better than she is, learning roux at 3 when reality is she was 8 or 9. So in a sense you're making her look better than she truly is, you're indirectly lying (a cute lie). Thus the whole joke is a lie and joking about lies is a form of mockery. You're making a fool out of yourself, cuz really, who wants to be a liar?
When you see through culture it's very ugly.

there are people who giggle almost constantly, and they are nice people.
there are happy people who giggle while flirting
the list goes on ,... & on just because you don't want to exercise your own mind, to challenge yourself doesn't mean it is anyone else's responsibility to do so.
And of course many can be quite nasty without using humor as an excuse!
But by all means believe whatever you want to, you will anyway.
So much for an example. 
And learn to differ between giggle and humor.
your laughing at me for what you take to be a poor reply (whether it is or not, does not matter), shows that indeed this base aspect of humor is apparently the level at which you are comfortable. Hence you seem to assume this is the total reality.--Makes perfect sense.
It was an example.

Using some exaggeration to reveal an emotional intimate fact isn't mockery - in my book. The reason every member of my family laughed was because they were aware of the intimate point I was sharing. Based in love and caring. Are you actually claiming my family laughed because I was a mocking liar?
Good try

nowadays people confuse humour and simply slandering others. Sometimes people even mix humour up with gossip. In fact it is more difficult to define humour than most things. But I can tell you right now humour does not and should not involve gossip and making fun of people. That's not humour that is demonic behaviour.
humour is an especially powerful use of words and can easily be taken in the wrong direction. Humour can also easily redirect your sense of humour.
You know your sense of humour is based on all the supposedly humorous humours that you have experienced thus far. This is why over time, humour goes in bad directions, wrong directions to the point where from a bystanders perspective one could struggle to still be able to call it humour. But apparently its funny
