red cross

I'd like to introduce you to McPherson. X was strolling home along with the high-speed crowd last night near McPherson Square and stumbled upon this young bird in the middle of the sidewalk (street? Metro Station?). The little guy immediately recognized her as the crane from Are You My Mother and raised an uproar of squawks. X stopped, looked, checked for hidden cameras, scooped up the poor guy. and deposited him in a fashionable paper bag. From the news reports he was very loud, he hasn't made a peep since getting home, and she had to warn him sternly about making any peeps while riding the Metro. As one expects, knowing her, he was absolutely silent all the way to Ballston Station. Of course, once they exited the station the squawking commenced. He's been here about 24 hours, he's very active now, and he might just make it. I've been the nursemaid this afternoon but I'm not so sure what he thinks of me. It's the same with all little ones.
