After reading a couple of books in the Truthy Ruthy series, I had a sneaking suspicion that young Ruthy was a crybaby. And I was right, as "Try to Cry" showed that the girl would turn on the tears for almost anything that displeased her. Eventually it got to be a bit too much for Ruthy's mom, dad, grandma, and even her dog. So Ruthy took an unexpected approach and taught them all the secret language of tears: She had a cry for "I want it now," a cry for "Mommy, I'm afraid," a cry for "I'm bored, right now," and so on. So the whole family started crying, and they made a remarkable discovery - there was such a thing as tears of laughter.And they all lived happily ever after.
