Here's the idiotic thing. I have a hard time crying in front of people. When I'm by myself, I can cry in big, gulping sobs while watching "Beaches," but with others, a tear might fight its way to the corner of my eye and that would be it. I'm emotionally frigid when it comes to my friends.
Still, I do feel tears well up at the weirdest things. When I had M, I stayed home for a little while before going back to school. I would watch "Price is Right" because it reminded me of being young and spending summers at home. I would, for no explainable reason, start crying with happiness for winners. Really? No, I wasn't hormonal. I still feel overwhelmed when I see people win game shows through mere chance.
I was thinking about this stupid fact and itemizing other things I cry about. Here's an incomplete list.
1) Jesus and what He did.
2) My kids. Good or bad.
3) Game shows.
4) Beaches/Steel Magnolias/Star Trek (don't ask).
5) Tragedies/death.
6) Firing someone.
7) The show "Parenthood." And "Price is Right."
8) Thinking I messed up or being accused of something.
9) Divorce and watching people go through it.
10) Weddings.
There you have it.
