Yes, Carisa is decidedly quick to tears. Pre-pregnant Carisa would have a spell here and there, but those were usually tied to being overly exhausted and not getting enough sleep. (And I suppose faking a turrets outburst in the middle of the night doesn't help calm the nerves much either.) But we're talking something-has-taken-over-my-wife type of tear facilitation. If you catch her at the right moment, you could say something like "I understand lambs are attempting to form a union to secure better herding techniques these days" and she'll look at you for a few seconds, then the chin will wiggle a bit, and there starts the flow. "I don't know why I'm crying. The lambs have every right to impress upon their ranchers there is room for improvement in herding. It just makes me very sad and not sad. Silly little lambs." Case in point: I'm working on the front porch last weekend. Carisa is up the driveway applying stain to a few decking boards. I hear something remarkably sounding like a full can of stain hitting the ground. Stranger than fiction, the can DID hit the ground, spilling most of its contents down the front of the welling Carisa and onto the driveway. It's really quite comical. I start laughing quite loudly, but I'm the only one. The Vessel's face has now shrunken up tight, the eyes open, and the tears begin to fall. At first I figure she's forgotten the faucet is right next to her and she's decided it'll be easier to wash the driveway down as well as herself if she were to simply cry away the stains. I attempt to console her that it's really quite funny and not to worry as there are more cans of stain in the world. She retorts that she finds it quite funny as well, but the pregnant Carisa is controlling the tears and she can't help reacting like a five year old dropping her ice cream on the ground.
And the adventure continues.....
