As we were leaving the park, while stopped at the light, I noticed a homeless person on the corner. I dug around in my bag and found the remnants of our Zoo snacks: a Tupperware with .5 lb of grapes and half a sleeve of Ritz crackers. I rolled the window down, offered the food to the man, he accepted, and then I rolled the window back up. That's when the tears started.
"Mami, I want my uvas (grapes)! He can't have them, give me my uvas!"
"B, we have lots more uvas at home. These are the ones you didn't want. That man has no food and we have lots of food, so we can share our uvas with him, ok?"
More tears, more confusion. Eventually I got through to her and she chilled herself out.
This came to mind. Sorry the clip is crappy. It's the only one I could find.
(The guy Kramer is talking to is homeless..)
