I heard that in the Victorian era, some ladies preserved tears in little bottles (though it may be an urban legend). This must be the modern version. ❤

I can believe this, now you’ve got me wondering how many tears we shed a lifetime?

I think with the Victorians it was tears of grief collected as a remembrance. And it probably doesn’t amount to much volume. I always roll my eyes when I read about tears “pouring” from eyes. Honestly? At my saddest moments, there’s more coming from my nose. How’s that for an image? Lol.

Apparently an average woman (surely doesn’t exist!) sheds about 70 litres of tears an average lifetime(?) – and men on average (aren’t we all!) about half of that – as for snot I can live with not knowing the relativity of that!
