When Ike was in 3rd grade, he was bullied by some boys in school. I told him if it goes on like this he has to reciprocate at one point, otherwise it may escalate. He was pretty pissed off with me but still tried to keep calm and said to me, “ Mom, you are a Muhammed Ali but I want to be a Martin Luther King”...Yep, this was not the last time that I learned something from my boy😍 #crosscountryroadtrip #dayone #muhammedali #louisville #kentucky #newyork #nyc #istanbul #ankara #marathon #triathlon (at Cave Hill Cemetery & Arboretum)
