Today I took my daughter to the park and a woman warned me that there was a "bum" sleeping on a picnic table by the swings. I stayed away. Shortly after, 2 teenage boys came by and the woman offered the same warning. One of the boys said, "Oh, that's Elmer. I know him. He's homeless. He's my friend." MMT

My mom always rooted for the underdog and congratulated kindness. I read this and I could hear her say 'Good boy!' to that teenager. Homelessness doesn't always mean that person is bad.
