Am I a soppy cow or is ds made of stone?

[Ivegotyourgoat]

I've been reading ds Gangsta Granny and granny has just died, the little boy is talking to Grannies cousin who tells him how he was the light of his grans life, and Friday nights when he stayed were the highlight of her week. Then he cycles to his grannies in the snow for 'one last time' her post is all piled up and a for sale sign outside.

I'm there blubbing and ds is just looking at me like I'm a complete weirdo.

I haven't been so upset since Charlottes web.

I'm a complete wimp aren't I?

The film The Iron Giant. God it makes me sob. When he shouts "sooooperman!" As he goes up into space

I need several boxes of tissues for the opening scenes of "Up", even then I have to leave the room. I'm sure I didn't used to be this soppy!

I watched Up the other week and blubbed like a baby.

Films I cry over are:
Dumbo
Up
The Rescuers

Think I cried at PS I Love You but I find it hard to cry at books. I'm usually pulling this face rather than crying.
Dobby dying in Harry Potter the film though- yep I cried like a baby.

Just wondering why people think "Guess how much I love you" is sad? I think it's really sweet and love reading it with my daughter.

I found a book called My Henry in the library yesterday. It's a Judith Kerr one about an old lady whose husband has died but he comes to her every afternoon with his angel wings (while she's asleep) and they have adventures and think about how nice their life was. I was in bits! Saddest children's book ever, it was a real tearjerker.

Oh goodness, I cry at so many books!
Once there were Giants (read while pg, suddenly realised this was life ahead for my unborn baby- a real human!).
Goblet of Fire (Cedric!)
Goodbye Mog
No matter what (parent would love his child even when he's dead)
I may have something irritating my eyes, just typing this.

"now, there are giants in our house again... And one of the giants is me." Gets me every time. Children completely oblivious.

Oh yes, The Paper Dolls.

When I was about 6 or 7 months pg with DD I cried my eyes out at There's Going to be a Baby in the library with DS, then 2.5. The young man librarian was very alarmed.

Stay clear of The House At Pooh Corner! I'm reading it to DS2 and I was a wreck when I read it to Ds1. Can't believe I'm doing it to myself again!

new I'm glad you said stickman, I can't read the end where" the children are sad, it won't feel like Christmas without their stickdad"

currently pregnant so everything is setting me off - Brave had me crying in the hallway on Sunday.

I am not liking these mentions of goodbye mog. As in Meg and mog? As in mog dies? That's well out of order.

I'm not happy about this goodbye mog business. Do u mean as in Meg and mog? As in, mog dies?
That's well out of order.

EarlGrey Not the same Mog.

Phew

I wondered about that. If they killed off Mog or Owl I would be devastated.

I cried this evening reading Owl Babies to eight-month-old DD. Don't think she noticed!

I could barely speak through Gangsta Granny for sobbing, my DS (6) was unmoved. I also lost it a bit when I read I'll love you forever - "as long as I'm living, my mother you'll be" (though the bit about the mother creeping into her adult son's apartment to watch him sleep was, frankly, odd)

I've never read Gangsta Granny but even thinking about Goodbye Mog makes me want to cry.

I'm super confused about Guess How Much I Love You?!

It's just 2 bunnies

I'm just about crying reading this thread

No Matter What, Guess How Much I Love You and I Love You Mummy all turn me into a blubbering wreck.

I once caught DH welling up at I Love You Daddy too

Aria it's the last bit. "I love you all the way to the moon...and back!"

I think I might be made of stone!

Saying that, The Lion King book had me bubbling!

Paper dolls - yes, me too!

And struggled to read Charlotte's Web aloud to DD (age 6 or 7 at the time) without my voice cracking with emotion.

Also weirdly The Sheep Pig. The little pig is just so courageous

Paper dolls, stick man (especially the TV version) and the owl one... I want my mummy!! Waaaaa
