A tale from the #landofcute Yesterday we were rushing to get to the subway and head downtown to the financial district to have lunch with Gary Marriott.
“Mommy, I am going to pick these flowers” as we were walking quickly…”And give them out to people that I meet today” With a handful of Dandelions Marcus brought pure joy to random strangers on the subway.

A short tale from the #landofcute a few weeks ago I hired from the library a bunch of cds to listen to in the car with Marcus. The one I was most curious about was Sweet Honey and the Rock. In between the songs are stories of slavery empowerment and segregation. We have listened a few times and Marcus tuned in today in a new way.
“Mommy, what are white people?”
“Well, you and I are white people”
Silence, then…
“We aren’t really white. We are kind pink. What are black people?”
“People who have black or dark colored skin”
“Oh. Mommy do we have a lawn mower? Can you show me how to cut grass this summer?”
“Sure”
“Ok, can you please turn the music up louder. I like this music”
“Ok. Marcus, you are being really cute right now. Can I take a picture of you?
” Sure”
Love this kid.
