If you haven’t had this link forwarded to you by a bevy of aunts, coworkers and roommates by now, let us do you a solid. Why My Kid Cried, though less than fifty tweets deep and less than a week old, has already proved itself as one of the best uses of the medium. Parents submit a silly reason their kid burst into tears and – here’s the dark part – must also submit a picture of said child crying. The result is nothing less than hilarious.

Prepare for happy tears.

You don’t want to admit that you’ve felt this way, but we formally call your bluff if you say you haven’t.

Keep refreshing your feed for more reasons to weep.
