Some times I have cried (or at least had tears in my eyes):
- At a London performance of "Starlight Express"
- While attempting to peel hard-boiled eggs
- While reading Revelation 21:4-5
- The time I forgot to put the whipped cream in the pie filling
- When Teddy said about Ziggy, "He's the cutest baby in the wo-wold!"
- While on the phone with T-Mobile Customer Service
- When Jane Eyre says, "Reader, I married him."
- After getting a negative response to my question about drill batteries from a worker at Home Depot
- When my Peter Rabbit mug got broken
- When recounting the story of "The other wise man" to my son in the car
- When I realized it was already morning and I was still feeding Ziggy in my chair
- When I was thinking about Nutmeg dying someday
- When Junie pinched her finger in the car door
- When some guy helped me figure out how to put air in my tires
- While the children's choir was singing "What Sweeter Music"
- When Daisy cut Junie's hair
- When Sebastian said about ocean zones, quote, "You can't make me care about these EVER."
- When I tried to play "Lilacs" on the piano after a 2-year hiatus
- During the last twenty to twenty-five minutes of "Scrooge"
- When a lady at the library told me not to walk behind the circulation desk
- While hearing a reading of You are Special by Max Lucado (even though I hate You Are Special by Max Lucado)
- When Teddy threw his head joyfully back against my nose
Yeah . . . me, too . . . or at least I could make a list just like yours. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're pretty normal to me. You're a woman, wife, mother, homemaker, school-teacher, daughter of God, etc. Yep, pretty normal!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's good to know that I'm not the ONLY one in the world who cries for silly reasons. And some good reasons. :)
DeleteHee hee. This was awesome. I want to make my own list now. Hormones, baby--they make for awesome meltdowns at weird times. Also, I have given up reading Christmas stories and now just hand the book to Cowen after the first paragraph.
ReplyDeleteGood strategy. I'm sure Cowen would never allow a quaver in his voice! :)
DeleteAnd when Hazel’s spirit was leaving his body and running across the fields in Watership Down, and when my sister talked about loving running again, and when my I thought about how cluttered the kitchen cabinet was, and when . . . :). Such a great post and list.
