I was cleaning up some old emails in my yahoo account, and I found the above picture of my son, my mother and Toni Morrison. It is from 2003, when Toni Morrison did a reading for a group of children, and my mother, being the president of the Toni Morrison Society at the time, got us a front row seat. My mother and I did our very best to explain to the then 6 year old Carlton how great this woman was who he was meeting. Unfortunately, he won't truly appreciate her until he gets to college and has to read one of her long ass complicated books.
