Tuesday at about 11 AM, I was approached by two young people asking me for two dollars. I thought the specific amount was a good tactic. I used that king of specific and also story telling when I panhandled in Montreal.
Anyway, I did not have two dollars and I asked the two to wait for me a few minutes as I ducked into the COAS used bookstore to drop off some of the books I had read. When I came out, they had gone. While I was asking folk at the bus stop where they had gone the kids returned, so I took them to my house.
Shae is 18, going on 13 and Josey is 22, maybe 19. I have been showing them how to shop for food and how to cook it these last few days. I have them sleeping on blankets on the floor and have made an appointment for Shae to see if she might be pregnant. Could be. We'll know this afternoon.
My neighbor, Grace thinks they must be druggies, but I think they are simply overwhelmed by their hormones. I'll update as I learn more.
