      One definition of the verb “fit” is “to experience or be affected with a seizure and especially an epileptic seizure” so the joke is the dad is interpreting the mom’s statement as the kid no longer having seizures. - Peter Griffin

    As an epileptic, this is amusing to me hehhhh

    Though the term “fit” can be derogatory, and definitely outdated, I’ve definitely said variations on: “I’m about to have a goddamn fit…” when I get a warning aura just before a seizure starts, because ya gotta see humor in life’s little horrors.
