I award Fletch a four-star cuteness rating. Like most qualities, cuteness is delineated by what it isn't. Most people aren't cute at all, or if so they quickly outgrow their cuteness...Elegance, grace, delicacy, beauty, and a lack of self-consciousness: a creature who knows he is cute soon isn't...Diminuitive size: a leopard is too big and too dangerous to be cute...Innocence and trust. I remember forty years ago in my East Texas pot patch I looked up from examining a plant and there was a baby skunk. I reached out and stroked it looked at me with complete trust.
