CRYING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!

Both of my boys are fans of music, and The Jonas Brothers Band are their heroes. The brothers were guests on Oprah yesterday, so I set the tivo to tape their performance, despite knowing that having it on tape would mean we would watch it OVER and OVER again.

Before dinner, I went to the basement to check the tivo, and make sure it captured the episode. Sure enough, it was there, and I found myself watching a little.

Oprah explained that two teen girls sent several emails and video to producers begging to have their idols, the Jonas Brothers Band, on her show. The girls were later attending a Jonas concert when the guys announced, in front of thousands, for them to come on stage. In front of everyone, the band thanked the girls for their efforts and said they had been invited to visit with Oprah, and the girls were coming also. Of course, the girls started bawling...and SO DID I.

WHHHHHY?

I don't even know them! For some reason, I was tearing up that their wish had come true. I can't explain it, but I sure felt silly, and I found myself looking around to make sure I was alone.

I sure wouldn't have cried before having children. Whether its a baby commercial on tv, or video of the kindergartner getting a surprise visit from his military dad, the tears come easier these days.

I told my husband what happened. The look on his face? Priceless.
