Eye Opener

The other day I was heading to the dollar store.

As I was exiting off the freeway I saw a man with a sign.

I was feeling quite generous this particular day and got a couple bucks out of my wallet.

I never do this, but was thinking since it was the holidays and all why not.

As I got closer I read his sign and my jaw dropped to the ground.

The light had turned green so I clutched my money and kept going.

I thought to myself,  "I must have read the sign wrong." and wanted to get back on the freeway and drive past him again.

I was running short on time and just decided my mind was playing tricks on me and let the whole incident go.

A couple days later I was getting off the same exit hoping to see the man with the sign just to see if what I read was true.

It was.

I've given money to these dudes before, not often, knowing full well that it wasn't food they were buying.

But, I'd really rather not know and think I was helping someone less fortunate than me.

I guess I've got to give him props for not lying, right?
