Peeled an onion wrong for 30 years until yesterday

My mom saw me cut the root end off first and nearly had a stroke. Turns out leaving the root intact keeps you from crying and I've just been suffering for no reason.

Hang on, is it really that big of a deal? I mean, I cut the root end off all the time and I'm fine. Maybe you just got used to crying after 30 years and built up a tolerance or something. My grandma always said you just need to chew gum while you chop onions and you won't cry. Try that instead of acting like you discovered fire.

Guess my onion tolerance is about as solid as my sense of direction during a power outage.
