Live it Loud

It's 10.30 pm on a spring time evening and we're strolling along Broadway in search of a shoppers drug mart. I'm charged and excitable, my usual self. In the midst of my heady excitement I notice a group of boys in front of us, examining a flower bed of black tulips. You heard me - black tulips. Deep, dark and elegant buds swaying in the summer breeze. I go running over, "OOOOHHH!!! Black tulips! WOW!!! I've never seen black tulips."

Disgruntled, one of the boys looks up and with a hint of uncertainty asks, "are you mocking me?!"

I told him not to be so sensitive.
