for the widows in paradise...

after seeing a woman standing on the corner begging for food and money, j and i had a conversation that went like this...

L - you know, there are some kids in the world with no food or clothes or toys.

J - no food at all? not even a little?

L - yeah, some have none at all.

J - what do we do about it?

and i could leave the story here. with a profound statement from a four year old, but that's not real life. so here's how the rest went:

L - well what do you think we should do?

J - we should give them some money for food, then they could give us some money back. 

then i think he went on to talk about elf ears.

in all honesty, i do wish we had done something. maybe given her the five dollars i was on my way to spend at starbucks. maybe bought a sandwich and brought it to her. maybe we should have DONE something. like j had said.
