Have you ever experienced a conniption fit? Do you even know what conniption means? A simple trip to the dictionary explains that a conniption is a real word that describes a fit of rage or hysterics. This hysterical outburst often results after learning of something unpleasant. And here I just thought it was some sort of made up word to underline the behavior of someone who is on the edge.
Conniption…what a cool word don’t you think? Oh conniption, I know you well.
“Mom I think I may just drop out of school and join the circus.”
Conniption.
“Hey dad, sorry about the dent, a I swerved so I wouldn’t hit the old lady.”
Conniption.
“But mom, all the kids are getting tattoos.”
Conniption.
“Yes the dog ate my report card, right after she ate my homework.”
Conniption.
“No, Fido, you have to stay here, you can’t come with me to work.”
CANINE CANNIPTION.
Just a note that I will posting articles that I have previously worked on since my 19 year old son is visiting for a week before he goes to his new AFB....far, far away :-(
Ha! Yes, when I leave the dog acts like he is in prison and will never see me again. The wimpering, the barking, the chaos, until he finally settles down. Canine Conniption!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your son! Wish him good luck and great journey from me!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog today. I agree that Cracker Barrel is a wonderful place to shop and eat. I'd love to meet the marketing genius behind that store layout.
