Random things that make you emotional...
 

What are they?

Me...on tv when babies are born, that tense moment waiting for them to cry.

The end of Braveheart, where they gut Mel Gibson.. I'll start crying 10 minutes before that scene starts.

At the boys school assembly, I get teary when we all sing the Australian anthem.

Katy Perry's new song "the one that got away".. Anywhere, any time.

When someone wins a lot of money on a game show.

When a military unit goes by in a parade.

When I hear Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.

When I have a turtle head pooken oot

Let me answer for my wife ... any thing about horses, especially colts.

Certain television commercials, like that random acts of kindness chain one from that insurance company (okay so it's not an effective ad as far as remembering the product, but it's a nice series of images).

Amazing Grace. I tear up automatically. If it's on bagpipes, I sob. Too many Line of Duty Death funerals.

When I was a little girl (ok - so somewhere between 1964-74) there was a commercial where a lonely guy in a trench coat and a fedora was standing under a street light and the song, "The party's oooooooooover...." played.

I used to always cry for that poor, lonely guy. My sister would laugh at me.

I don't remember what it was for - it just always made me cry.

I remember that commercial. I think it was for Alka Seltzer or Pepto Bismol.

I remember crying at the part of A Girl Named Sooner when they were throwing rocks at the bird. I was in my room, watching my little black and white TV, but I hid in my closet because I was embarrassed.

In 7th grade a bunch of kids started throwing rocks at a bird in the field, an injured bird. I was telling them to stop and my 'new best friend' at the time said "no use crying over spilled bird."

Cruelty to animals will always make me cry.

And Sarah McLachlan and her damn SPCA commercial. I turn the channel.

Even as a tyke I was crying over hangovers.


And Infi? The first time I saw that Sarah MacLaughlin/ASPCA commerical I donated.

It totally worked.

I'm such a tool.

Sigh.

When I'm pmsing, pretty much anything can set me off to :sniff: How annoying is that. :rolleyes:

Old wartime songs are an instant choker for me. Particularly the ones from the soldier's perspective. And particularly the older ones.

"Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, and smile boys, smile."

That's it. That's all it needs. Floors me every time.

People driving 30 in a 45 when I'm in a hurry. Well it's an emotion...

Kleenex commercials. Anything too cutsy, and most of all, when my heart overflows with pride over something my kids have done.

We are so proud of you Monster, and we want you to know it.
