What’s the funniest thing you’ve heard a child cry about?

Same age. My mom was discussing some teenage memories with my grandmother (her mother) and I cried because I was too young to have any memories (I now have a shedload!)

I was the child. I cried over ASPARAGUS!!! I must have been about four, five, six the outside. I had been served some, tasted it and thought it was absolutely DIVINE! I wanted a second helping of this verdant, melt-in-the-mouth delicacy that resembled magic wands, but there was no more left in the house.

As an adult, I was in a supermarket and passed a woman with a small girl riding in the cart’s front kiddie seat. The girl was crying her heart out. I came over and asked why the little cutie was crying. The mom said that her small daughter was crying because she wasn’t getting something that she wanted. I asked what the item was, thinking it was probably a toy or some junk food or something like that. But no. It was . . . TAPE! A roll of TAPE!!!!

How would you feel if your friend confided in you that she is cheating on her husband, knowing that he loves her deeply? What emotional and ethical considerations would you grapple with in response to her revelation?
