Laugh a Little!
Don't forgo humor in your messaging just because you're scared — or your boss is.
6) Wrap it up while they're still laughing. Don't push it. Instead, pause, return to your more typical tone (although serious shouldn't mean deadly) and cycle in humor from time to time when the opportunity arises.
