I was outside replacing a gate with my kids. Up walks a guy, clean, neat haircut, seemed healthy. In Spanish, he asks me if he could have some money for some food. I give him the old "I don't speak Spanish or even have an idea what you are talking about" shrug of the shoulders. He asks again and I say "no thanks" and wave my hand.
Once he's out of hearing distance, I tell my kids what he said and ask them what they noticed. They don't answer fast enough for my liking, probably don't want to give the wrong answer or could just be stupid, I dunno. So I tell them.
Here I am working my ass off, dirty, sweaty, and hot. This guy walks up and asks for money. Not hey, do you need any help, I'm broke and need money for food. Not hey, can I help you in exchange for a meal. Not even hey, would you be so kind as to throw me a dog biscuit. Just straight out can I have some money.
Que?
