"Dad, why does that man have a sign that says, 'Help'?" Oh, that's complicated. Say something noncommittal about the less fortunate. "Will we help him be fortunate?" Oh kid, cut me a break. Should I say he's crazy? On drugs? Lazy? A criminal? Or is she old enough for the truth?

No judgments. Their stories can be complex. You can't ask, 'what happened' and get a simple answer. It's always a combination of things. That's hard to contend with. Sometimes I wish someone could say, 'your problem is X' and the solution is Y.' But life's not like that.
