Ugh, I feel for you. I have a disorder that sometimes affects my aural processing and sometimes you just have to smile and nod to survive. That said, when it's a boss talking, it's really essential that you ask them to repeat things. ("I'm sorry, I missed that. Do you mind repeating?") This time you missed a personal story (albeit a sad one), but next time it could be an instruction that could make or break your chances at a promotion, or even put your job in jeopardy.
YDI for trying to fit in and look cool in a conversation you didn't even belong in.
Only a complete moron would laugh just to "fit in". All it ever accomplishes is to make you look like an utter moron. YDI
lol I would have done the same thing op.
hahahahaha one of the few FMLs I actually LOL'd at hahaha
Next time make a straight face...you can't go wrong with a straight face :|

Damn...next time just say "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you." There really is no good way to let your boss know what happened. So, FYL and YDI.
Omg that's awful. I've been in that position one too many times... :/
