Onion tears

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

‘Mama are you crying?’

‘No, honey, that’s onion tears.’

This is my daughter’s dramatic reaction whenever I grate some onions. I know she’s just joking, but I love to see that dramatic performance she puts on to show that she cares about me.

I believe most people will cry their eyes out when they’re dealing with onions. But I also believe that a genuine gesture of love, appreciation, thanks, understanding, and support will always bring tears to our eyes.

With all the best wishes,

Nahla
