The thing with children is they don't always cry "properly".

My best friends baby cries because he is upset but it is a much more "shallow" cry.

Of course there are times when he sheds real tears, but most the time it's just wailing.

And that is what Alice does.

That is what I'm doing tonight.

I'm upset. I'm wailing. But I'm shedding no tears. I'm not really crying.

It makes me want to rip at my skin and do something that will make me properly cry so I can get this lump in my throat out of me.
