Let the tears out

I usually cry or tell mum that I'm upset.
Mum says that it's a good thing.
Because then she can comfort me.
She says that everyone gets sad sometimes.
And if you don't let it out it can stay inside your head, or in your belly, and cause you pain.
It feels good to let the tears out.
That's why I tell her how I feel.
