Vegetables don’t make you cry? I’ll bet they would if you were chopping onions!
Let me share something personal with you people. Recently, I was in my kitchen sobbing. Not because I stubbed my toe. (Although I did. Ouch!) I was weeping over my vegetables. What? Vegetables don’t make you cry? I’ll bet they would if you were chopping onions!
When I finished sobbing and sniffling, I wiped my eyes and got to thinking.
First of all, I have to admit that I don’t actually know why anything makes you cry. Honestly, we’ve just met and I don’t know you that well. Maybe you were really friendly with that onion and you didn’t want to chop it? Maybe you really wanted to be slicing celery? Maybe you’re overly sensitive about plants in general?
But maybe none of those are true and you’re still crying anyway. In that case, you’re just like me and lots of other people who get teary when we chop onions. If you’re really like me, you’re also wondering why this happens. Lucky for you, I did a little research and I think I have the answer you’re looking for!
