Just bought my mum's Mother's Day card, and welled up over it! Honestly, anyone would think that living with my wonderful man has turned me into blamange!
Fear not. You are, shudder and deny it all we can, Normal. I know it's a nasty thing to accuse anyone of, but it really is true. The closer you get to being apparently an adult, the more your body betrays you.
Next thing you know, you'll find yourself welling up at the drop of a hat. No more the classic causes, eg bette davis dying tragically (again), Mrs Jumbo singing to her offspring, Small deer and hunting season, etc... although I am still looking for the "Bambi Hunting Rifle action set" as a gift for the Pook.
Small children singing will put you into floods too, as will cheesy Hallmark Card moments... It's all really unfair when you still consider yourself to be a brittle and cynical product of the eighties.
