Today we saw a man panhandling. Wiley asked me what his sign said and so I read it to him, he was hungry and didn't have any money or a home. Wiley, then, had a million questions and I explained as best I could. Wiley ended with, "poor guy. That is so sad, I think I might cry." I tried to reassure him there were lots of social workers (like me!) who will help him and I told him all about the shelter he could go to for food and the families I've worked with who have lived in the shelters. He's so sensitive; he was really bothered by it for a long time.
