Do slow songs make you cry???

I don't know if all girls are like this, but I know that at least for (most) of the Minkus girls, a nice, slow song can bring us to tears. I know that it happens to me occasionally when I hear a real heart-rending song, and I've caught a few of my sisters getting teary-eyed too.

Well Bruria takes it to the extreme. She HATES slow songs- every time I start to sing a nice, slow, kumzitzy song before bedtime, she starts to cry and scream, "I don't like this song, it makes me sad!" So I've basically stopped singing songs at bedtime.

But now its gotten even worse...since the kids are on break now, I sit them down and daven with them at home. Every time we get to "אבינו אב הרחמן", Bruria starts bawling!

Oy, girls- you've just got to love them!
