There's this one chapter which I can barely read out lot to my dc's because I'm trying so much. Do you have any of those?

It's a book by Astrid Lindgren (I think it's called Emil in English) and this little boy through some superhuman efforts manages to save his parents' servant's life. I read it to my dd1 a few months ago and was sobbing all the way through it, tonight I read it to dd2 and did it again.

Oh yes Clary,..Peepo, but for me its the "dog who shouldn't be there"... so Pushka just thinks, there's a war on, bomb sites everywhere, food rationing, so WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS LITTLE DAWG WOT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MINE??? And so resolutely I refuse to point it out in the picture chats in case i have to explain the reality of blitz strays... Yup, pathetic.

Snivel..

dearprudence - didn't know rabbit in ghmily was a daddy rabbit!I cry at loads of stuff all the time, since I've had children I've turned into an emotional wreck. Do you think its the hormones, the lack of sleep or just a general decline?

I once saved myself from getting giggly on a work interview panel (candidate dead ringer for Morticia Addams) by thinking of Beth dying in Good Wives. And yes me too to Takver re Jack the dog dying.
