I always thought it was a myth

Today was the time I've ever teared up while cutting an onion. I've always thought it was a joke when people did it or were just over dramatic. Haha but today I got a fresh onion and red bell pepper so I can make my healthy orange chicken and as soon as I started cutting it up it felt like my contacts where supper dry and my eyes were watering but then I realized that I was wearing my glasses. Haha I don't know why this is so funny to me. Ok well I had a great day and the jasmine rice and orange chicken was da' bomb! :)
