As we were driving on a raining highway the other night, B-boo noticed some *hobos* in a tent in a ditch off of a nearby frontage road. She has a heart for these people and has even started a ministry for them. I'll do anything for this child, but it was almost dark, pouring rain, and it'd been a very long day.
This morning, B-boo, the Talented One and I were driving near the area on our way to his weekly Bowling league. Conversation went something like this:
B-Boo, "Hey, we should go drive by and see if the hobos are still there!"
Me, "You're crazy! Hey, did you remember the coupons."
B-Boo, "Yes."
Me, "I figured you did. You're the responsible one. If you ever did anything irresponsible it would probably be because of your brother. (the Talented One)"
Talented One, "I like Hobos."
B-boo & I crack up.
Me, "Your twin needs to shave his face. He's getting hairy."
Talented One, laughing. "I told him two weeks, but he thought it was three weeks without shaving, so I let him. I want to see what his face looks like."
Me, "You probably did say three weeks, but thought two weeks. He'll probably laugh thinking he's grown more hair than you!"
Talented One, "I only shaved my chin. I'm keeping my soul patch."
B-boo & I crack up again.
"You're WHAT???"
Talented One, "My soul patch. That's what Pastor M calls it."
After we were done laughing, the conversation carried on. But I probably shouldn't share it; it had to do with my mammogram post and well, we should really move forward now.
Incidentally, the Talented One & his Twin had an interesting encounter with a *hobo* after they were done bowling. I've yet to hear the full story, but I know it involved them receiving a hand made cross in return for their generosity. God is good.
