On our way to Costco...we saw a family of four sitting by the entrance. The parents are probably my age... their two kids are probably 7 and 4. The two kids were laughing, joking. The mom sat their, stoic. The dad held the simple sign - "Money, Food, or Job. Please help."
Joyce suggested we get them a chicken.
As we exited, we dropped off the chicken... the dad said, "Thank you. God bless you."
So... is there a difference between a family of four vs. a shaggy looking drunk? Yes...
Did the family really need to stoop so low as to use their kids to trigger an emotional response? I don't know...
