Yesterday I took my 6 yr old to the grocery store to pick up a couple things. On our way out, a guy asked if I had any spare change. He didn't look like a chronically homeless person, but someone who was down on his luck, so I gave him a handfull of change that happened to be in my pocket. My 6 yr old told him to have a good day, and we started walking off. We weren't far away from the man when the following conversation took place:
6 yr old: What's he need the money for?
me: I don't know... food or something to drink probably
6 yr old: I don't think that's it.
me: What do you think he needed the money for?
6 yr old: A boat.
me: It would take a long time to get a boat that way.
6 yr old: Yeah, I guess so. It is a long walk to the boat store.
