Messed up, let me try again
(Sorry, I thought I could edit it fast enough before responses came in. This was my post:
Wasn't sure how to word it in the title, but where I live there are often people asking for money at the end of the freeway ramp, or on medians in high traffic areas, again usually right near the freeway. I occasionally give some change or a dollar, but usually just try not to make eye contact.
Now that DS1 reads pretty well, he will ask me why I didn't give any money. He told me the other day "The sign said anything would help. I could give him (some random object in the backseat that I can't remember). I explained when the sign said anything, it meant money, and told him for the millionth time I can't give money to everyone who asks for it.
I was just wondering what most people here do? )
But I forgot to check the box for the poll, so I started a new one with poll.
