We were in the garment district so Annika could be measured for her new school uniform. We were in a crazy, bustling, back-alley, garment district full of beggars, motorcycles, pushy salesmen and, you guessed it... cows. (no joke)
We stopped for a moment and I saw a man with one hand held out to me asking for money and the other hand motioning to his mouth, like he wanted to buy something to eat. Then I looked down and saw he was pushing a homemade cart and on the cart was an armless, legless, elderly man with milky blind eyes... dear God! And, of course, he was right at the kid's level so they were looking at him the whole time.
Let's just say this has been a big learning experience for them. They've been asking a lot of questions...
