The Barn by Ralph Hagen for February 25, 2010

Exactly, Rory. Ever see that video of the little kid throwing the temper tantrum until his audience walks away?

Bwa, bwa, white sheep…

Well that seemed like a good idea until I tried to say it.

Poor Rory …. no point in bleating alone.

♫♫♪♫Hush little Rory now don’t you cry You know its time for lullabies……♪♫♫♪♫

Rory, go find Stan.

Now it’s time to cry for realising that.

Poor Rory. Maybe next time you should cry louder.

I always feel vaguely silly when i cry and no one is around. I understand, Rory. Poor baby.

♪♫..Well they’re some sad things known to man But ain’t too much sadder than The tears of a sheep when there’s no one to peep..♫♪

“Weeping sheep reap no deep sleep.” ~Wise Ram

okay, now the inevitable question.

rory why are you crying?

Now he must be feeling a little sheepish.

If you haven’t read Calvin and Hobbes today then you’ll have no idea of what I saying… These two need to get together in the worse way! In fact I think I’ll cut and paste the two side by side and print them out!

Believe it or not, I’m the opposite to this trip. I’m ok with the whole ’it’s ok to cry after a sad fictional moment’ thing, but after what I’ve been through, I prefer to do it privately, unless I’m alone, then I’m ok with crying openly.
