Same ole’ same ole’

Remember a while back, the story of the young woman with baby, begging on the subway?  The comment was that she was nicely dressed and didn’t look distressed in the least, but she had an accent and a cardboard sign saying she needed money for herself and her baby.  Well, low and behold, on the subway today, and she came around again. Her tactic is to stop right in front of a person and say, I need money.  When she stopped in front of me, I look at her eyes and said, ‘I saw you doing this last year’.  She moved on.  It made me wonder if the baby is in fact a doll.  A cabbage patch doll would work, or any other, as the ‘baby’ was the exact same size as last year.  And it’s still cool, so baby is covered, but hanging in a sling facing toward her.  Next time I’ll ask to see said baby.
