Waves of tears.

Mommy was crying a lot this morning. She was really red and puffy. Naturally, I was quite concerned.

"Mommy, why are you crying?" I asked.

"I read a really sad book," Mommy replied between sniffles.

"Oh," I said thoughtfully, "where is the tissue?"

"Wahh.... *sniffle* booohooo, ahhh haa haa...."

I used my best cry. Mommy handed me a tissue, and we blew our noses together.

"Nemesia, why are you crying?" Mommy asked.

"Because I read a sad book," I said, still sniffling. Eventually, I got up and went to the door.

"Where are you going?" Auntie Laina asked.

"To get a sad book," I replied.
