Guys, I have a confession to make. I hope you'll still want to be friends after you find this out.
I... I apparently, like, CRY when macaws fly overhead to flutey-South-American-sounding music.
I'm on my last week of summer camp. On Thursdays, we go see a show at my work, which uses free-flight birds, including macaws. When the macaws fly overhead, they play this EXTREMELY cheesy flutey music to make it seem all tropical and South American.
Now, I've seen macaws flying overhead before. I didn't tear up. I've heard flutey music before. My eyes stayed dry.
I can only assume it's just a deadly combination for me.
The first time it happened, I thought it was a fluke. "Oh! It's beautiful! That's why my eyes are a little bit moist at the corners."
The second time, I thought I was just having one of those emotional days. "I must just be overjoyed at everything today. That's why I'm feeling teary."
Today, though, finally just drove the point home. "Oh... oh... goodness. Yes, a tear just DRIPPED DOWN MY FACE."
That's pretty much the point where I gave up and accepted it. Want to make me cry? Give me flying macaws and flutey music.
You may have seen Rio a few too many times. That could be the explanation. (Confession, I haven't actually seen that movie so I really don't know.)
ReplyDeleteLOL - I freakin' love this about you :). Flutey music (albeit cheesy) really does tug at your heart strings, but just add macaws and you're toast.
