dd brought home a reading book from school about a whale who'd just given birth and was so exhausted she was drowning, while the protagonist family watched. i was rather about whether this was appropriate reading for a 5 year old but then burst into tears and couldn't carry on reading
please tell me i'm not alone in crying over kids books. i always get a terrible lump in my throat towards the end of the mousehole cat too. there's definitely something about reading aloud that makes it worse.
i am alone aren't i?
