The Crying Game

I have made children from 4 different cultures cry this trip, its quite an accomplishment! Earlier this trip young children from Thailand, Burma, Cambodia cried and last night I went 4/4 when I had 2 Nepalese young girls (3-4?) staring at me with very big awestruck eyes before bursting into tears and running away to their mothers.

Children of a certain age often burst out in tears on seeing me. I am a big (230lb), tall (6 foot 2) monster approaching and standing over them. Even when I get down as low as I can so I am closer to their height and speak softly or sing songs or make funny noises they still stare with wide frightened eyes before breaking out in screams and tears. I must look like their worst nightmares.

4/4 a perfect trip!
