Hysterical crying by toddler to pre-teen aged child. Usually accompanied by lip-quivering and/or gasping for breaths. This event is then over-described by the child later as, “Cryning.”
Child: “Mommy, you didn’t buy me that toy at the store, so I was cryning. Don’t you feel terrible?”
Mother, at the sink washing the dishes: (taking another drag lazily on a cigarette, then slowly turning to face the child.). “Oh yeah. That.”
The saddest part in the thousand of decrepit 'flats' and 'apartments' scattered throughout Ireland. A place where a person of little money or living space goes to weep for eternity.
