Homeless Encounter Of The Day

The other night sarah and I were feeling adventurous so we decided to walk down to Rondenbosch (the next town over) and grab a bite to eat. Kings Wood chinese restaurant looked like the place to be so we stopped in and sat down. There was a table of about 15 people, all must have been a chinese family except for 2 white boys, random. Anyways, we snatched a table by the window thinking that we could do a little people watching while eating dinner. We ordered our dinner and the people watching was at a minimum. The only people we saw were bikers driving their bikes on the sidewalks and all of them had just purchased Vodka which was placed on the front of their motorcycles. We were unimpressed, that was until a lady with a stroller walked by with what looked like a baby was in it. The lady looked  a little homeless, but hey, who doesn't look homeless in my area? The harder I looked at the baby stroller I realized that there was actually no baby in the stroller and by this time the woman realized I was looking at her stroller. Shit. She quickly came up to the window and started asking us for money while rubbing her stomach. Her stomach was flat, no baby in there or in the stroller. This went on for about 2 minutes and then she looked away but kept her spot outside the window. What was this lady thinking? Did she actually think we were going to walk outside the restaurant and give her money? I would understand maybe if this was an open air type restaurant but it was a very obvious that these were huge glass panes that there was no way money could magically float through them. What a fool. Eventually she got the hint and rolled away with her babyless stroller. Wonder if the story worked on anyone else?
