Sunday Citar~ Laughter

It's Sunday again that means it's time for one of my favorite things... Sunday Citar!!

Here's where we all share a quote or two... a favorite, a new find, a laugh inducing or tear inducing quote you love this week. (Citar = to quote in Spanish)

"A good time to laugh is any time you can."
~Linda Ellerbee

The car pulled into the drive with a bump, bump, bump... and it was there we waited under the torrent of a quickly fading rainstorm. It was just a few moments really, but it made such a big metamorphosis to our day. The morning was riddled with changing plans, things that didn't work out, an emotional mama that was closer to tears than to laughter and a baby that felt the same.  But it only took a few short moments, a handful of carefully crafted seconds and some going-with-the-flow minutes to change our tune.

I heard the happy beat thumping quietly in the background and I impulsively reached to turn it up, my finger grazing the dial tentatively at first and then a quick twist let the music permeate the cabin. The corners of my mouth began turning upward and I noticed little hands begin to move their way into the air in the backseat. Within seconds I was facing the backseat, my knees craftily crouched into the worn leather of my seat and arms flailing to the thump, thump, thump. I guess the music permeated more than the cabin and soon we were all bobbing up and down... until thump, and this time it was more than the downbeat of a kickdrum. It was my head, ON THE CEILING of the car. Dramatically I shrieked, OWWWWW, and grabbed my head as I fell, laughing my way onto the center console, caught by the reverberating roar from the two littles watching from their perch in the backseat.

So what did we do? We reenacted it over, and over, and over.

It was the beginning to the rest of a great day.


In case you'd like to laugh yourself, and get a glimpse of what our backseat looked like... here's a recently caught-on-film, similar laughing fit.
