"You don't have to CRY about it"

The title of the post "You don't have to cry about it" is a statement I often tell the older kids when they are being over dramatic.

This evening Elise said that to me after she thought I had been whining. I was desteming strawberries and Russell was about to put all the strawberries into one container- my voice raised, "Oh Russie, stop!"

Elise: "You don't have to cry about it."

Laura/Mom: "I'm not crying about it."

Russell/Middle child: "I'm crying about it." Then proceeds to fake cry. Comedic timing.
