Cake Mix and Bullets

I posted this a while back.  I found it odd that someone would give a homeless guy who was begging for money, cake mix of all things. I just couldn't figure it out.  Still haven't.

  

  

I drove by this intersection again the other day and there was another homeless man standing there.  He had a sign.  The sign said, 

"Bank Robber.  Need money for bullets."

I laughed and the homeless man/bank robber motioned for me to roll down my window. 

I did and he shouted that he liked my sense of humor and he loved my hair.  He told me that if my husband didn't treat me right I should come back and see him.  I drove home that same way several times with my camera looking for him so I could post his sign.  He is gone.  I can't find my boyfriend.

This reminded me of an essay Tanner once wrote about doing a good deed.

He wanted to be sure I didn't plagiarize and I gave him full credit, so...the following is an original essay by my son Tanner when he was in the fifth grade.

    First my mom and I thought of a good deed.  We decided to give sack lunches to hobos.  To do this we had to make lunches.  I got to spend good quality time with my family.   The lunches had turkey and ham sandwiches, chips, fruit, a drink and cookies.
    Next we got in the car and drove off to look for hobos.  That night it was really cold.  I did not think we would see any people because of the cold.  We did see two guys under an overpass near a Waffle House.  Hobos like the Waffle House.   They looked starved and they were.  I called the first man over and said, “We made you this lunch.  Merry Christmas”.   He said, “God Bless You,” and smiled.  Later we saw him walking away from the overpass.  A few minutes later we saw a guy carrying a sack and I gave him the other lunch.
    This made me feel happy that I did a good deed.  It was my destiny to give these people their lunches.  I was happy for the hobos because they got to eat that night.   It also made me very sad.  It only took about thirty minutes.  The reason I picked this good deed is because it is no fun to be hungry on the holidays.  Now after reading this you might get hungry go ahead eat I don’t care.  

So there you have it.  Hobos like Waffle House.  And faux hawks.
And Tanner doesn't use transition words.
