OK, OK... I've only ever seen the word "conniption" used in a negative sense. Never thought of a conniption of happiness before!

Please don't injure anyone, Ruthy! ;)

I'm trying not to, Bear! Honest I am!

I'm so thrilled about it that it's hard not to run around injuring people in my exuberance.

Conniption, in my experience, has a usually negative sense. I suppose it could be positive... like you might say you had a "fit" of happiness.
