This is funny in how cut and dry it is. My friend, do you have kids?

It's my theory that crying evolved as a trait because it forces parents to go find some place safe lest a predator finds them, thus ensuring the helpless kid can grow in safe environments.

Note that there is no mention of sleep in there. That's bonus round if you get it.
