Any time I want to cry, I go to the kitchen and start cutting onions. Is it cowardly? Yes, maybe, but I cannot afford to let my guard down. The bearded dragons will take advantage of me if I do!
They’re tough little buggers. They cry only when they need to clean their eyes. So practical! Am I practical? Hell, no. I eat their dust in that department!
If I do cry in front of them, they glom on with their tiny straws and start sucking me dry from my tear ducts. I nearly died the last time that happened!

Cute story. I cry during movies and TV shows, not just the sad ones but also the happy ones. Comedies? of course the waterworks begin. I just hope I never run out of tears, because as you said, they clean out my eyes, as well as nose, mouth, sinuses.

Crying really does have its benefits. Good thing I’m so adept at it! 😛

Same here. Trouble is, I cry and then have to take something for a headache caused by the tears. Gives others a chance to laugh so not all bad!

I tend to get laughed at whenever I cry too. I wonder why that is? 😛

I think it makes some people uncomfortable, so they tend to laugh rather than have to find out if something is bothering you. And then there are the unfeeling jerks who pretend they have never cried about anything. I’ll bet their mothers would let them know how much they cried as babies.

Exactly! You would have to be dead inside to not cry.

Oh, I’m sure a bearded dragon can’t eat THAT much of you. Maybe a finger or two, but you’ve got several more, right?

Brilliant. I wrote too about onions and crying. I find onions ever inspiring.
