He is literally crying in the picture though. What is this book of lies?
He's not crying, his eyes are just a bit sweaty!
The running joke in the Little Critter books is the unreliable narrator.
More importantly, what is Little Critter? A groundhog? A capybara?
A toxic male
I thought he was a porcupine
A British person
Yes.
I don't know, but my 5 year old daughter innocently calls Mercer Mayer "Mistress Mayer" and it's all I can do to not burst out laughing, thinking of the author as a hard core scenester in tight leather holding a riding crop.

Vulnerability is strength
I wanted to cry, but I didn't.
I was brave instead, and also sad.
And now I don't know how to cry or be sad.
And everything is grey.
Today I lost my favorite hoodie :(
That is actually pretty sad. I am sorry for you. Take all the time you need.
But when you feel up to it, your local charity shop has lots of comfortable hoodies looking for a good wearer.
God damned right.
What're the odds that I was thinking about this image recently only to have it posted here
at least 7
Checks out; seven is odd.
I’d like for there to be a name for this phenomenon too, but the Baader-meinhoff is the closest thing to it that I know of.
Great correction!
it has never been a shame for a man to cry. It is a shame to cry for silly things when you are a man!
Crying is a reaction to strong emotions, which has beneficial hormonal effects, especially if it's because of psychological pain. When someone cries you can be sure, that they have all the reasons they need. Whether it seems silly to you or not, for that person it's a big thing and should be taken seriously instead of invalidating and demeaning them.
It's not a man crying tho, it's a... thing ?
