When I was climbing these stairs to visit my friends, I didn’t pay attention for a few seconds and I bumped my head so hard that tears came into my eyes . . . . .

Cuando estaba subiendo estas escaleras para ver a mis amigos, no presté atención algunos segundos y me golpeé la cabeza tan fuerte que me saltaron las lágrimas . . . . .

La comida que mi esposa y yo cocinamos frecuentemente provoca lágrimas de nuestros invitados porque usamos mucha capsaicina. Trato de advertírselo, pero mi esposa prefiere ver sus reacciones.

The food that my wife and I cook frequently provokes tears from our guests because we use a lot of capsaicin. I try to warn them of that, but my wife prefers to see their reactions.

Una vez , regresando a casa , encontró mi Madre derramando lagrimas. A mi pregunta desahogado sus penas, que habia leído un libro de la vida de Puccini, y él murió al fin de la libro. Pobre mi Madre, me burlé su lagrimas, que lloró por cause de asi" evento inesperado".

Once returning to our home , I found my Mother full of tears. To my question she told her sorrow, that she had red one book about the life of Puccini and he died in the end of the book. My poor Mother I mocked her tears, that she wept because of such an "unexpected event"

Very good. Just some small corrections. Once, returning home...my mother...she had read a book. Mother is only capitalized when you are using it as a substitute for the person's name. - Leatha, Sep 1, 2011
Grammaticaly you are right , but I used to write Mother with capital letter , because of my my respect. - porcupine7, Sep 1, 2011

'Hacer pucheros' - cuando no es suficiente derramar lágrimas.

'Pouting' - when shedding tears is not enough.

I'm not sure that 'pouting' in this case would be 'hacer pucheros' but I couldn't think of how else to put it :( All suggestions gratefully accepted. - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 1, 2011

Too bad, the word of the day is tears. I was hoping it would be milk or juice. Maybe I need to change my doctor. (Marshi, you're still my favorite doctor, don' t worry).

La palabra del día es lágrimas, esperaba que habría sido leche o jugo. Quizás necesito cambiar mi doctor. (Mashri, eres aún mi doctor favorito, no te preocupes)
