My girlfriend announced she was pregnant.  I was ecstatic. For some reason I had to capture this on video. I picked up my phone. She started crying.I started to put the phone down, out of respect, I guess. But at the last minute I just started to keep rolling film. She broke down quietly. It had been a long week for her.

Later we showed this footage to our son.

He was horrified. He couldn’t understand why crying was so important to adults. He said they did it too much. He claims he hadn’t cried since he was three.

I tend to believe him. Kids today don’t cry. I think it’s because they are happier. They’ve done so much recently. The world is a safer place. I like being alive and don’t worry that much. Maybe that’s why we showed him those old photos. My wife and I were feeling nostalgic, for the Good Ole Days when there were things to cry about.
