Helen looked up when she heard the door open. She had been contemplating how best to help him, deep in thought until he returned. "I'm in the kitchen," she called. For all he knew she had been getting the food ready (she was not). But upon him entering the kitchen and seeing his state she stood up, trying not to laugh. "What happened?" While there was concern, she did find it humorous because it could have happened to anyone and she felt it best to laugh off these situations. But she held her laughter because she had an inkling he wouldn't like her laughing at his expense.
