To ask what irrationally makes you cry?

[Champagneformyrealfriends]

Mine's the bloody "In The Night Garden" intro. Every bloody night.

Horse racing commentary makes me cry.

Ahh, the scene in Love Actually where Emma Thimpson is in the bedroom having just found a necklace that she didn't get.

That Joni Mitchell song in the background makes me cry like a baby

Thompson I meant

And this

The film Nativity 1 esp when all the boys get to be Joseph.

Not just primary school events with my kids in, but primary school events they're not in. My daughter bans me from her events now because I cry. Though I have to point out I held it together for her primary leavers ceremony (very hard but I was determined, for her sake) - in the end it was her and her dad who blubbed!

Any new born baby.

Any Olympic medal ceremony regardless of who or what nation wins. I imagine the friends and loved ones of the competitors.

Rainbows

Beautiful sunsets.

Great sex!

And this Two school productions which made me weep like a drain

'The Book of Love' by Peter Gabriel - I'm not much of a crier and it gets me every time.

Oh, bloody everything at the moment. DS2 had norovirus this week so I'm knackered and emotional.

This thread is making me weepy.

Yes to the opening of the Lion King, I've seen it 3 times and I bawled every time.

My son school choir when they sang ' Don't Stop Beleiving' they sang it with such joy, I still well up years later.

Weddings.

Every single thing on this thread! Just reading 'children singing Away in a Manger' has made me well up. Before I had children I cried at nothing! Now I'm an emotional wreck. I can't even watch my DC take part in sports day without holding back the tears!

brass bands, choirs of children singing, nativity plays...basically I'm a nightmare at Christmas!

the song 'I'll be there' by Jackson 5

Rollonbedtime we have that book too!

I just gave a great big sniff thinking about it.

A lot of these aren't really irrational are they?

Brass bands (eg Salvation army) at Christmas.

When Sally Gunnel won the Olympic hurdles (I hate sport and never watch it - was at a mates and it was on his telly)

The past couple of lloyds ads, the horse through the ages especially. I can't even THINK about it without breaking up!

oh whyyyy

and this

Lots of these are perfectly rational - I cry at songs all of the time. I cried loads watching the olympics - cycling, rowing, medal ceremonies! I've also been known to cry watching the grand national and, strangely, when Jess Glynn sang on strictly (although I was pregnant if that counts?)!

In the night garden uses to make me cry but I've now graduated to the music from Topsy and Tim . I think it's because my ds (3) sings it and not because I'm a weirdo.

I work with public transport, when I see people saying goodbye I struggle to keep myself from crying too.

Any soaring music like the national anthem or the beginning of the lion king.

An elderly couple holding hands.

This thread!

Oh and Dance with my Father by Luther Vandross

I also cried in my local church when an elderly woman was baptised. She gave a speech about her life, how she'd been recently widowed and was comforted by the church. I was the only one crying

Glad I'm not the only one to cry at Meerkat Manor.

When DD was in NICU I cried at the milk fridge. In NICU they have a fridge to put your expressed milk in and it was just the sight of all the bottles with the baby's names on and the thought of all the women expressing for their sick babies, desperate to do anything they could to help.

(I had just given birth)
