On The Correct Use of Adpositions

Adpositions (aka prepositions) are very important. Very, VERY important. For example, it might happen that, as you walk out of a restaurant and your husband says something really, really silly, you might burst into laughter, and at his question "What are you laughing about?", you might answer: "I'm laughing AT you."

No. No no no no no!!
"I'm laughing WITH you" is the correct phrase for those who want to stay married.

Mentally noted.
