No bananas for hobos

Time: around 6 pm, getting dark.
Scene: Queen Street West, 3 blocks away from our house in Parkdale

Homeless person: Excuse me, ma'am?

Cessie: Yes?

Homeless person: Do you happen to have any change for some hummus? You see I'm really hungry and haven't eaten in a long time and....

[Cessie,  thinking]: ...Hummus? REALLY?

Cessie: (truthfully) I'm out of change, but I have a banana you can have...

Homeless person: NO! ... No.

Homeless person leaves in a huff.


And that, my friends, was that.
