I haven’t tried bursting in tears while reading in public, but I’ve tried bursting with laughter. I was reading in a fastfood waiting for my order, there were a lot of people. The people occupying the next table looked at me like I’m an escapee from the asylum?

I started silently crying, on public transportation while reading The Bridge to Terabithia… ??

I, too, have laughed aloud! I don’t cry so people notice, in public.

The Bridge to Terabithia comes to mind, though I know I’ve done this countless times before. I had gotten locked out of my house and picked up the book from a Little Free Library (love those things) and then the kids and I went to the library but I read Bridge because I had it, and had some idea I’d cry based on the movie, but I cried a lot, ugly crying…it was bad.

I try to avoid anything that’ll make me cry, but I have burst out laughing before. Once or twice, @Barbara, bystanders have asked what I was reading, but mostly I’ve just gotten strange looks.

I didn’t exactly burst into tears but I definitely tried to hold back & make it look like allergy season- this darn pollen- was the cause for my watery, red eyes! LOL! It was towards the ending of Sugar by Deirdre Riordan Hall or Hall Riordan-I forget! I was bored w/ the novel at first but glad that I stuck w/ it & there was a silver lining. 🙂
