You Cry A Tear To Start A River

When I was younger, I used to judge my mom a lot for crying at movies. When watching movies with my parents, I can always tell what parts in movies will make my mom cry. It's not always sad tears. Generally it's the "oh this is so happy and I'm so happy things were resolved" kind of tears. ANYWAYS, I judged my mom a lot from youth through most of high school. because it was like, "why the heck is she crying? this isn't sad. Gosh mom. pull it together."

Well, as karma would have it, I've become my mother. My name is Kristin Greer and I am a movie crier. I fought it for a really long time because I thought it was embarrassing. I even was stuped enough to think that the whole, "I just have something in my eye" trick was effective (it's not). But now, I embrace my weepiness. I like that I cry in movies because it means that I had an emotional connection with the movie and I think that's great. I've cried in a lot of the happy movies and it's okay (most recently, The Muppet Movie, which we just watched tonight AND IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MUPPET MOVIE, STAND UP. GET IN YOUR CAR. GO TO YOUR NEAREST REDBOX AND RENT IT NOW. IT IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER). I'm here to tell you all that it's okay to cry in movies and if you're a movie crier, embrace it. Be proud. Hold your head high and let your tears fall with dignity.

NOW GO SEE THE MUPPET MOVIE AND CRY YOUR HEART OUT.
