I Cry During Sad Movies

I Cry In Happy Movies Too.

I never used to cry in movies, but since I became a father I cry a lot more easily. I even cry during friggin commercials. I'm like Robert De Niro in Analyze This - crying at the AT&T commercial. Seriously. I'm not making this up.

And if it's something to do with a kid - I'm a gonner!

I've gotten really good at hiding it though. My wife hasn't caught me out yet. But she's a real bawler too so she usually doesn't notice because she's too busy howling at the same thing. haha.

    haha. It's flipping ridiculous. Some of those movies just know EXACTLY what to do to turn the water works on. A cute kid, some sad music... dammit I need a kleenex!



    I usually lie on the couch with my head turned to one side and my arms folded behind my head. So then if I start snivelling I can pull my arms up and wipe my eyes on my sleeves without anyone suspecting anything.



    Luckily my eyes and nose don't go red otherwise that would be a dead giveaway. haha!

    OH MY GOD ME TOO!!

    exact same thing-- i used to pride myself on being a total hardass, i wouldn't even cry when someone died in a movie. and it all changed with kids--now, i seriously cry at the hallmark or kodak commercials--just like you said, especially anything with a kid in it, i'm a goner. then i get really pissed because i'm supposed to be a hardass and i have no control over it. i can even be telling some random story that includes a mother and daughter, not even about me, but just mentioning mother and daughter will make me tear up. that was so weird to read your story , it was like i wrote it. i thought i was just a psycho, which still may be a possibility, but i think it's safe to say having those little turds touches something deep inside us.
