Women and little kids have one thing in common - crying spontaneously for the weirdest reasons ever (no offense, ladies). Remember the time you first saw Barrack Obama? Crying. The time meeting Iron Man out of this costume? Sobbing. Having to eat a plate of veggies? Bawling your eyes out. These and many other reasons are absolutely reasonable to set a kid crying, and they have been documented in a website called 'Reasons My Son Is Crying' by Greg Pembroke. He collects photos of funny babies sent from parents around the world and posts them on his website. He's even made a book on crying for no reason, which you can buy on Amazon!
So whenever you have a temper tantrum about the fact that you cannot fit all the crayons in one hand, remember that there's probably a funny kid who also feels the same. Have more examples of why do babies cry? Add your picture and quote to our list below, and don't forget to vote!

1% of these are legit problems (even if they only think they are - they're "stuck" etc.) 1% are spoiled. The other 98% just need a nap.

I've seen a baby cry when people were complimenting him and he somehow mistook it as criticism

Always feel like people who choose not to have kids are kinda like vegans. They just GOTTA let you know how great their lives are. :')

I helped out a my mom's school where she taught. I put easter grass, plastic eggs, and candy in the nursery school kids baskets. All of them started crying that I'd given them the wrong colors. Apparently they didn't understand the concept of trading.
