- Yes, I still haven't been able to get through that Robert Munsch book
- without sobbing halfway through, even though it's incredibly
- ridiculous to believe an elderly woman being able to crawl through
- her grown son's bedroom at night and rocking him in her arms!
- Besides, it does raise some boundary and separation issues. The
- last time I read that book to my son, I was crying through the last
- several pages, when my husband (Mr. Levity) walked in and started
- laughing at me. Poor Dylan couldn't figure out what was up--Mommy
- is crying her little heart out and Daddy is practically rolling on
- the floor laughing at her! :-)
-
- The other night, I was watching the Steve Martin remake of "Father
- of the Bride" on cable TV. Gary came in to say goodnight to me and
- saw that I was sobbing. He made some snide remark about being able
- to fall to pieces at the drop of a hat. I told him that if we have
- a daughter, I will *buy* him this videotape and make him watch it,
- and see if he can keep from crying. It's amazing--before we had a
- child, I probably still would have cried, but not with the same
- intensity.
