2:13am the cutest thing in the world

when a small child is singing her ABCs in random order.

saw it happen this morning on the bus. then she knows the tune to Mary had a Little Lamb. and she asks mommy to sing it.

she knows the tunes and jumbles the words.

the lady sitting next to her asks how old she is.

silence.

blank stare.

searching for an answer.

seven!

you're not seven, mommy corrects.

she's obviously not seven. but you have to give it to her for blurting out an answer. giving it a shot. fearless.

then tonight at the Brilliant event, takashi's baby. mirai has to be the cutest baby in the world. has to be.

I'm usually not too crazy about cute babies. all babies are cute. but Mirai oozes with sweetness it makes you almost squirm at how cute she is. you don't know what to do and it makes you want to lose your composure.
