There's a regular customer that comes every wednesday where I work. She's a young single mother that comes with her 2 years old kid which is the most adorable little girl I ever saw. She's so little yet look so bright, I call her the pear girl because everytime I see her I buy her a pear. I kinda know the woman has money problems so I don't know, I just thought it would be a nice gesture since we kinda got to know each other and it doesn't bother her that I do so. Since I've started doing that the little girl never said a word even though I keep talking to her and ask question. Today I wasn't talking much, just the usual chatter and a forced smile but when I handed her the pear she spoke...she said that I looked sad. I wasn't able to move, I was standing there like an idiot and my eyes just filled with water, than I started grimacing to clench my teeth and tried to say something but I wasn't able to...I just almost drooled from the corner of my mouth then I walked away feeling so fucking rediculous. I passed a co-worker of mine who asked me what was going on and I told him to shut the fuck up and keep working...
I freaking hate crying and I hate to show it, but who knows maybe I haven't cried enough in my life. Hell if I told a doctor the total times when I cried in my life they would probably tell me that I'm unhealthy. Why now.
See, to woman, crying comes naturally. Its almost a given and practically an artistic display of drama and emotion. From the moment her eyes fill with tears to when she breaks down crying and sobbing everything is perfect because the emotion is pure. But when a men cries, its an awkward and embarrassing display of facial muscle flexing and grimacing that would give any toddler a mental scar for life. First off when a men feels his eyes are getting watery he starts blinking, twitching and looking all around like nothings going on. Then starts the mouth and chin action, the teech grinding to the chin vibration that could make a woman wish their partner would cry during intercourse. When the tears begin running down its a bare handed fight against humility, using both arms he wipes them away as quickly as possible. Oh yeah, it real pretty.
