Amy Schumer’s son Gene isn’t always a fan of getting a laugh.
In this week’s issue of PEOPLE, theLife & Bethstar, 40, shares that while her sonGene Davidis “really funny,” he can be “very sensitive” when it comes to people laughing at him.
“He feels very sensitive to us laughing at him, like if he doesn’t intend on that,” Schumer explains. “He knows he’s funny. But he only wants to be laughed at when he means to make me laugh.”
The comedian, who is set to co-hostthe Oscarslater this month, recalls a recent night when her son, whom she shares with husband Chris Fischer, told her “no laugh” after she chuckled at something he said.
“I was holding him the other night and he was like, ‘I want Daddy to come in.’ So I’m like, ‘Okay, let’s call him,’ and he goes, ‘Is Daddy coming?’ And I said, ‘Yeah,’ and he went, ‘Yay!’ And I laughed and he went, ‘No laugh,’ and I’m like, ‘Okay. That’s fair,’ but I tried to explain to him like it was explained to me, ‘It’s good when people laugh. It means you made them happy and they love you.’ "
