The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree

I think that I wrote along time ago about crying at some movies, even comedies. The first one I think that I ever really cried at was BIG starring Tom Hanks. There's a scene where Tom's character goes back to see the playground of his youth. A baseball rolls his way and when he throws it back one of the kids yells, "Thanks, mister". He's not a mister, he's still a kid who just looks much older. But he can go back to being a kid and every time I see this scene I start to cry. I am still a kid, but I can't go back.

Anyway this is just one of many movies that break me down. Today I was watching a real tear jerker, Field of Dreams. Michele, my daughte,r called and we were discussing my crying and she confessed that when she watches BIG and the baseball scene is coming up she starts to cry knowing that if I were there I would be crying.
