On tears

Right from the start, human beings are taught that there is one thing that will get us what we want: tears. Babies use it to get food, toddlers use it to get toys, young girls use it to get money from their fathers, middle-aged men use it to get victories from their football teams...

There are sad tears, happy tears, tears of frustration.

Crocodile tears.

Tears for fears.

Blood, toil, tears, and sweat. Or just blood, sweat and tears.

Tears in heaven.

Personally, though, I'll do my crying in the rain.

Love how you've worked all the different kinds of crying into this post. Crocodile tears are the worst.

Never cried over a favorite team, but I know I've yelled a few times.

I always feel better after a good cry (unless, of course, I don't :) )

Then there are times when guitars do the weeping for us...

I'm not much on tears and rarely ever cry.

I love Tears for Fears and was hoping it would be "Woman in Chains".

There are the Tears of a Clown and Tears on my Pillow. Congrats on finishing NaBlo!

Or the famous country hit, "I watered my garden with my tears..."
