conniption fit A conniption fit is a spontaneous outburst of anger or frustration, usually precipitated by an act of stupidity or neglect. Wild animation, gesticulations, and flailing of limbs often accompanies said outburst, adding visual flavor to the experience. "If your mother gets home before you clean this up, she'll have a conniption fit!" I was talking with my Mom tonight and out of the blue I said, "Mom, if you don't stop, I just may have a "conniption fit!" She laughed so heartedly. I stopped in my tracks and thought, where in the heck did that come from! So, I asked her. "Mom, what in the heck did I just say?" "I'm going to have a conniption fit?" "What in the heck is a conniption fit, and where in my brain did I get those two words?" She laughed again and said, "from Maw, of course!" Maw was her Mother. My Grandmother. She then said that when her Mother would get upset, she would tell the children, "do you want me to have a conniption?" I said, "are you serious?" "Wow!" "I guess, Maw intervened here in our conversation!" My Mom again laughed really hard and said, "you know what?" "She's with me all of the time." I said, "well, I guess she wanted to intervene. Maybe, you had conversations like this with your Mother, and she wanted you to remember. She said, "oh yes!" Then laughed. A Mother and daughter. Very glad we can laugh at having a "conniption fit!" :) Great two new galleries to share with you that I was lucky enough to be a part of this last few days. Don Jessop, a Parelli 3 star licensed professional http://www.donandrachel.com/aboutus.html came here in Aiken for a three day clinic at Julie Robin's Dragon Fly Farm. I was able to attend the first day as an observer and take in all that he taught. He was truly amazing and I learned so much. I am also a Parelli student. I took many photographs of the afternoon session. I will post a link below. Huge congratulations to Julie Robins, Julierobins.com for her adventure over the last six months of training an untrained 3 year old horse and competing in the http://horsewomanschallenge.com the FIRST of its kind. She was amazing with her horse Moonshine. You can read all about it at her website, www.JulieRobins.com The photographs I am sharing of her demonstration of how far you can come with a 3 year old horse. From bucking her off, to riding him bridle less. Amazing. So, below, I will share two galleries of both of these amazing horse people. I hope you like them!
