I love listening to the radio with Marcus in the car. Our latest adventures in music have been very eclectic indeed. Here are the 4 songs 4 year old Marcus chose when I pressed the scan button. When he heard a song he liked he would say “Stop”
First song- I shit you not, he chose the Beastie Boys
2. “It Must Have Been Love” by the Roxettes
3. An East Indian house/dance track that we both seat danced to along the 401.
4. Last song choice- Ben Hepner “Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg”

A tale from the the #landofcute. At 6:30 in the morning it is still dark outside. The ahem forgotten to be lit last night menorah was all set up. So, we ate breakfast by the light of the Menorah. It was so nice sitting in the dark. I turned Marcus and I said
“Marcus are you Jewish?” And he said
“Yes, and Jewish boys eat chocolate. But I am not ticklish or sayish.”
“Marcus, what is sayish?”
“Well, it’s when you don’t really feel like saying anything”
Well said.
So Gary Marriott and Marcus are wrestling and generally mucking about, when Marcus falls over and hurts his foot. He begins to cry and I come to see what has happened. We asses the damage (none) and Marcus looks up at me and says
“I broke my leg Mommy, but don’t worry I am not going to die.” His voice rising in octaves and excitement knowing he has my full attention.
“You know what would make my leg even better Mommy? Getting into your bed under the covers and watching tv!”

A few tales from the #landofcute. When my tired child asks me what we are having for dinner, I answer.
“Turkey” to which he replies
“The shiney kind or the sparkly kind?”
When asked by my cousin Gena Rotstein about the shape of the city of Toronto, we mean it’s character, and he draws a circle in the air.
“If the top of my head is the top of me, is my bottom the bottom of me?”

At tale from the #landofcute when I picked up Marcus from school the other day I asked him.
“Marcus do you need to go to the toilet?”
His response was priceless. He held up 4 fingers and said
“I went 50 times today and at least 20 kilometers”

In the face of my old friend possibly loosing his son. I am hanging tightly to mine. I have a tale from the #landofcute tonight at the sushi restaurant Marcus asked our server for a dragon roll. Before she had a chance to answer, he asked her Do you have any dragons? She said yes, in the kitchen! Do you want to go see them? He was out of his seat before we could tell him it was a joke.
We met up with Maury and the two of them waited on the street car platform for the St. Clair street car. Omg watching Marcus board the street car was priceless. So I was waiting in my truck and when the street car took off I was riding next to it. Marcus was yelling at me through the window “Mommy I am on a street car!!!” He was opening and closing the window, and yelling weeeeeeee every time the street car started. It was so sweet watching the other passengers laughing at his cuteness. When we met up with my family for dinner tonight he was full of stories of his 8 minute trip on public transport.
In 6 days we have collected 3 huge pails of maple syrup that we are going to boil down tomorrow over a fire.
A quick tale from the Land of Cute. We shlepped out to Atkinson’s maple syrup suppliers in Orillia and while we were there Marcus and i went to use the facilities. For those of you who do not know this, my son loves to have everything from the waist down taken off for a more relaxjng free flowing experience. When he was done and just before I put on his socks he said “Mommy, my feet feel really dirty, will you lick them clean?” Baahhhaaa. Not a chance kid. omg he makes laugh.
