Naut
More than one way to read this ... the tears are the unwanted houseguests?

Naut
If they are not related any closer than sisters and brothers tell them they misunderstood. You are not receiving and will not be for a few more years. If they do not understand start their car and take out their luggage. If they are termites, curse them profusely then call the bug man.

I know it isn't funny, but I can't help laughing,
because I'm picturing you hiding out in your den...
or something...
waiting for a reprieve--
or gritting your teeth
while you entertain with feigned gusto.
