A friend of mine and his wife used to keep foster kids. I’ll never forget a quote from one little girl who asked him every morning where he was going? Where he went every day? He went to work. Totally a foreign concept for this child.
I lived in a poor neighborhood during college.
The kids of the welfare moms would hang around the house quite a bit out of curiousity. One little girl asked me why I was always reading those big books. I replied it was so I could get an education and then get good job.
She said, “Can’t you just get a check from the government?”
