To ask what irrationally makes you cry?

[Champagneformyrealfriends]

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

The last post.

Brass bands.

Oh god I just watched that 'slow down' video. DH is asleep next to me and it was a real struggle to not cry enough to wake him up.

I can't deal with the beginning of Up either, the first time I saw it whilst it was obvious what was coming I wasn't expecting it to be that emotional and sobbed for the next half hour or so after she died. The second time I watched it I was sobbing from the second they met as kids.... I don't think I've watched it again!

I also like watching the surprise homecoming videos on youtube of families being reunited when someone comes back from deployment. They always make me cry but I don't think the crying is irrational although maybe choosing to watch them in the first place is!

My kids in their school concerts, as soon as I see them I want to weep on the floor. You think having been to at least 10 now it be easing, nope!

Disney's Hercules where he jumps into the river of souls to save Meg....Bolt where Penny is in the burning warehouse... And the end of Plague Dogs. So that would be cartoons then, I dispair of myself.

Puff the Magic Dragon. Just horrendous

Emmerdale earlier tonight when I KNOW it's not bloody real!

The sound of ambulance sirens/ambulances speeding to somewhere with blue lights on - heart in mouth, lump in throat at the thought of what might await them.

The theme from Inspector Morse/Lewis - those first few plaintive strings. Ne Me Quitte Pas by Jacques Brel, or the English version too.

'The day death fell in love with life'

Children singing in school concerts
First dates (C4)
One born every minute

I cry at loads of things on TV! Most fairly understandable
I don't know why but I always cry at night garden ... the bit that says 'looking up, looking down, here and there and all around'

Not just a Nativity play, but any flipping school show, with the kids looking so young and eager (snuffles).

The ending of cool runnings

DIY SOS, the end bit when they see how nice it is. Every single time! We call it "the crying show" at home now.
When I was pregnant I used to cry a lot at the news too.

Navy your post has me sobbing here. That's exactly the sort of thing that gets me.

That grand design episode where the carpenter buoy his house centered around a tree in Cambridgeshire - some of the time he had truck loads of carpet try friends helping, at others it was just him, it was beautiful and he was a gentle and quiet soul with a wife that suited him perfectly - when Kevin revisited a year later, she'd created a zen garden around the house and they were almost entirely self sufficient. I weekend for days!

An episode of the natural world, with Ian Holm narrating, the story of the symbiotic nature between the fig tree and the fig tree wasp. Don't know why but it really gets to me.

Whenever I hear the song "when I grow up" from Matilda the Musical. I hate musicals....

So many typos!!!

Buoy built
Carpet try carpentry
Weekend wept

I forgot to add earlier, almost every episode of Little House on the Prairie. When I was a kid and now as an adult re-watching them, even those episodes that aren't sad!

fire I saw that-I cried too

Many of the above but really any gathering of happy people especially if they're singing, concerts, anthems at rugby, even Happy birthday at a party, dropping my kids at parties, guide

The Wizard of Oz.
"Everything you were looking for was right there with you all along".

I love that film!

Anything with child birth in it! Since having my DD 7months ago I've found it hard not to shed a tear! Even the lloyds advert when a mother is being handed her baby wells me up inside!

Reception class children singing Away in a Manger and Little Donkey
Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins
Calon Lan, a Welsh hymn

I cried at the end of Wreck It Ralph a couple of weeks ago

Had me in floods the other night. Also the Christmas edition of Old Jack's Boat last year did me in.
