Prompt: crack or cracks

I find so much humor in everyday life. So, when I was about to make a humorous observation during a most serious family discussion, I started “cracking up”. I became breathless, almost hysterical, from my bizarre observation unable to verbalize it. The faces and atmosphere around the table brightened. The weighty ‘stone’ of our dismay developed immediate cracks.
While I convulsed with laughter attempting to convey my thought, my sister started laughing uncontrollably too, as the rest grinned patiently waiting for my punchline.
Whatever it was on that specific occasion, good things resulted. Spirits were lifted and I started getting far fewer invitations to examine dark family topics.
Dark clouds impose themselves
Before a downpour
Light pauses unencumbered
That was hilarious
🤣 I’m still laughing too! Thanks, Sadje!
You’re welcome 😂
We all need more laughter, well done!
From you, a frequent rib tickler, I am humbled and pleased! Thank-you!
