    Maybe your mum is joking with you. Many people will get puffy eyes after crying. It is a quite a normal phenomenon. We know that the skin around our eyes is very sensitive because it is full of blood vessels and very thin. When we are crying, our body will react to emotions and cause more blood to flow through our eyes which will lead to swelling. There are many productions of emotional tears which will strain our eyes too. It often goes away after a little bit of time or some home remedies.
