Cry

(Elizabeth potentially going to cry because the little bouncy ride is terrifying.)

“The main thing in one's own private world

is to try to laugh as much as you cry.

Elizabeth cries every day.

EVERY day.

Here are a few examples along with the reason for the tears. I think almost all of the explanations are true.

Elizabeth about to cry because the fold-out bed is uncomfortable.

Elizabeth getting ready to cry because family photo day is horrible day.

Elizabeth about to cry because it is ridiculous to have to WAIT for food in a restaurant.

Elizabeth about to cry because Worlds of Fun is really Worlds of Exhaustion.

Elizabeth about to cry because her mom is hugging Maddie and not hugging Elizabeth.

Elizabeth crying because it's her mom's birthday and not Elizabeth's birthday.

Elizabeth about to cry because she only has TWO American Girl dolls to sleep with and we wouldn't let her name either of them "Aryan."
