Reminds me of my trip to Budapest in the summer. I made a comment about stopping for a beer, and a tiny little gypsy lady overheard and started in on me -
"Hey boss, can you help me out? I have 7 kids and am barely gettin by!"
I just kept walking, but she persisted. Finally my cousin just snapped.
"As a widower I raised 4 kids, finished University, and put all my kids through school. How do you find the time to beg on the streets when you have mouths to feed? Shouldn't you be working? I was too tired from working and studying to fuck all day and night and have 7 kids!"
Different priorities, I guess...
