Tissue
Ratings
I have no idea how the idea popped into my head. But once it
did, it took hold. Now, when I read a book or watch a movie that evokes some
tears, I count the tissues that I use. Hence, my Tissue Rating system. (See the charts below.)
It’s much easier to track movie tissue ratings because, for
the most part, the movie is over in two hours or less. Reading books may take
days, weeks and sometimes months. So, oftentimes I lose track of the number of
tissues I’ve used.
I LOVE to laugh. So, I’m seriously considering Laughter Ratings.
Not sure exactly how that would look. Maybe tally smiles, tee hees, guffaws, and
belly laughs. Or maybe just a 1 – 10 laughter scale.
I’d love to get some feedback! How do your Tissue Ratings stack
up against mine? And what do you think about the idea of Laughter Ratings?
