Rich Man? Poor Man?

When: Early May, weekday, about 9:30 AM
Where: Downtown, on westbound MAX
Who: Healthy 30-something parents and their energetic pre-school son.

Son : We're going to work! We're going to work! We're going to work! ...

Mom : Honey... honey ... we don't have jobs.

- Overheard by Broadside Johniie, who writes: "My initial reaction was "what a poignant reminder of the current state of things." The first person I shared this story with replied "Well, maybe they don't have to work."
