The kids started thinking of the ‘bums’ as people who are kinda in the wild. Thus, they chose the word snaggletooth. I figure it’s better than them using the word bum. It’s rather complex to begin a discussion about how the United States mistreats the mentally ill in our country with ten year olds. I think people should keep protesting the lack of housing and care for these people. And some of them want to live outside, that’s just a fact.

Guess you have to be there . . . I do the best I can to convey the dynamics simply as I see it and in this short space. I remind the kids not to use the word ‘hate’ casually when they say it. Sometimes they are in a mood of hating everything, I tell them to be positive and thankful rather than fostering a crabby or negative mood.
