This mom is taking Facebook and the internet by storm. It’s not because she made a major booboo or because of some extra ordinary talent that she has … it’s because she reminds us that sometimes it’s just the simplest, mundane things that can really make us very happy.
In her Facebook Live video, Candace Payne, a 37 year old mother of two, just could not contain her excitement about her purchase at Kohl’s. The gift, which she said is intended for her son, is for hers to keep:
… at the end of the day, this is mine that I bought and I’m gonna keep it for my own.
From that point on in the video, she just could not contain her excitement and giddiness. As she does a demo of the Star Wars Chewbacca mask, her giddiness turns into an infectious laughing fit. You just have to really see it yourself.
Here are some of the comments people shared regarding the video:
GREATNESS!!!!! We are laughing! So fun!
OMG that is freakin awesome!! I don’t know what’s more awesome though… The mask or it trying to keep up with your laughter!
You won the internet today! Best thing ever!! I still laugh just thinking about it!
This is the best video of the year….period! You are so funny and I’m buying that mask asap!
Chewbacca Mom’s video has, as of this writing, garnered more than 111.0 million views (and still counting).
Here is Chewbacca Mom’s must see video. She really brought a lot of sunshine to my day! 🙂
In the video, she goes, “This is worth every penny.” … and then continues with her infectious laughter. Well, Candace, your video was no doubt worth every minute of my time. Thanks for bringing us all some unfiltered joy and laughter.
I definitely agree that sometimes, it’s the simple joys in life that can truly make us happy.
On a side note, Disney should thank her when sales of this Chewbacca mask goes through the roof.
Did Chewbacca Mom bring a few minutes of joy to your life too?
