L’Heure tranquille où les Lions vont boire

During the summer, I had a talk with my mother. She told me that I was a big cry-baby, that I cry at the “lion’s hour”. When she was pregnant, she read that all babies usually tear up at the same time, at the beginning of the night: “the peaceful time when the lions go to drink”. 

She assumed that when the predator is gone, the animals feel at peace, hidden in the dark night, ready to cry together.
