What does Cry really mean?

Teacher: Hey there! So you want to know what the word "cry" means, right? Well, crying is something that we humans do when we're feeling sad, upset, or even joyful. It's like when tears fall from our eyes because of strong emotions. Sometimes crying can help us release those emotions and make us feel better, kind of like how a balloon pops when it's full of air. Our tears are like the way our bodies let the emotions out.

Now, crying isn't just about sadness though. It can also be a way for babies to communicate with their parents or caregivers. When a little baby cries, it's their way of saying "hey, something is bothering me, can you help?" It's like when you raise your hand in class to let me know you have a question.

But here's the thing, crying isn't limited to just babies and humans. Did you know that some animals cry too? Not the exact same way as we do, but they have their own ways of expressing their feelings. For example, when you see a dog whimpering or howling when they're lonely, scared, or in pain, that's their way of crying.

Now, crying isn't always a bad thing. It's actually a very natural and healthy way for us to show our emotions. Just like when we laugh when something is funny or when we shout when we're excited, crying is another way our emotions come out. It's like when a bottle is filled with water and starts to overflow, the water spills out. Crying is like that overflow of emotions.

So, to sum it up, crying means shedding tears from our eyes as a way to express our emotions, whether they are happy or sad. It's a way for us to communicate our feelings and let others know how we're doing. Does that make sense now?
