Leave a bunch of girls together and what happens? Yes, you guessed it. After eating ice-cream we all end up crying and hugging each other.

This is what happened. My husband had a work-related dinner tonight and I had to take Charlie out for a walk after dessert. Hannah and Rachel started playing with their toy car-seats, strollers, and babies as I cleaned up. I had to change Hannah before we left for our walk. She didn’t like this proposal at all. “No wanna diapa.” I tried coaxing her with no luck. Finally I had to forcibly pull the stroller away and lie her down to change her. She started crying as if her heart was broken–screaming actually–big tears rolling down her red cheeks. Suddenly Rachel rushed over to us. “I don’t like it when Hannah is sad,” she said as her face crumpled into tears and she dissolved onto the floor. Then she knelt down to Hannah, crying herself, soothing her with her hand and saying “I love you, Hannah” as tears rolled down her own cheeks. What do you think happened next. Yup. My eyes filled up with tears.

Then I finish changing the diaper and pick Hannah up to hold her close and wipe her tears away and Rachel, still weeping, says she needs a cuddle, too. Then as I’m still kneeling on the floor, we’re all hugging each other, wiping tears, rocking away.

Women and drama. You gotta love it.

I do.
