Why does cuteness make me cry?

This is a silly question that's proably been asked a hundred times, but I'm hungry for input.

Cute things make me cry!

Cute animal videos, babies and toddlers playing, adorable elderly folks. They make me so misty eyed and I don't understand it. Sometimes, I get genuinely sad as well. I'll never get why, but endearing things inspire this odd feeling of happiness and sadness.

I'll be minding my own business when something adorable pops into my head and all of a sudden I'll become misty-eyed. It's so weird. Hell, even thinking about something kinda cute my friends or family might have said or done is enough.

Does this happen to anybody else? Am I the only one that does this?
