I'm a high school teacher and today we had this diversity training group meeting. We meet once a month. This was the first meeting and there were maybe 12 people plus 2 administrators in our group. We were supposed to bring a photo of someone who has been an influence in our lives and talk about the traits that inspire us about that person. So, I'm the 3rd person to talk and I can barely choke out the word grandpa before I start bawling---in front of like 6 people that I've never even met, and maybe 4 that don't know me very well. I try to tell about how he was such a loving person, and he made me want to be that kind of person for my son and how in turn I want to make the school a safe place for my students and for my son when he gets to high school blah blah blah. 4 kleenex later, I choke out an apology for my pregnancy hormones and pass my turn to the next person. Little did I know I started a trend. I looked around and I had made 3 different women cry during my terrible story and then as we continued around the circle 6 other people cried during their stories (obviously making me cry again). We were a mess!! It was pretty entertaining!

Good GOD! Pregnancy hormones are freaking ridiculous!
