Boys and girls are different, in more than just the fun ways.
Consider the hard-wiring differences between us when crying, for instance. Girls are wired to cry for many reasons. Girls can cry nearly anytime, whether up or down, sad, lonely, or nail-spittin' angry. Boys are wired (and socially permitted) to cry only when some really, really serious problem is present - and a compound fracture isn't good enough, even if it is his own bone. When a boy is in the presence of a crying girl, we are usually convinced that there is a problem, and we need to fix it, right now! That's how we stop the tears! Fix it!
But you gals are sneaky. Crying isn't just a sign of a problem, as we've already covered. Sometimes you start a good cry when happy.
Leaving most of us guys in a position of serious confusion, and of If it ain't broke, how can I fix it so you'll stop crying?!
My wife began a happy cry this morning when Diana the Huntress visited for Chritmas, in the form of a new recurve.
Archery has always whispered to Holly, yet she'd never pursued it.
Now, she will.
Isn't that what leads to a happy life? Follow your dreams...
Merry Christmas to you all.
