When we first arrived in SF for our little trip, Jason was accosted by a homeless African American man asking for money. It was really late and I was kind of scared by the whole situation because the man wouldn't leave even after Jason said no many times. Tyler was watching what was going on from inside the car and I could tell he was confused and scared. I was thinking from inside the car, "Jason, just give the guy a buck so he'll leave us alone!" Finally, security came out from the hotel and told the guy he wasn't allowed in front of the hotel. After he left, Tyler asked us who he was, so I told him that he was a homeless man asking for money. That was the end of that.

The next day, we were in our hotel room watching the news when Tyler yelled, "Mommy, look! The homeless man who was asking for money is on TV!" I looked up and laughed. Barack Obama was on TV.

Now, whenever Tyler sees an African American man, he says it is the homeless man from SF who asked for money. Even after we tell him that the man is not, he will insists he is. He said it yesterday at church. He said it at Target. I just hope no one ever hears him!
