Brian trailed off as a pantsless young man crawled up to them with a toy in his hands. It was an eight-sided yellow plastic ball with different shaped holes on each side for matching plastic blocks to be fit through. The young man banged it repeatedly on the floor, making the couple blocks within it clatter about. Then he thrust it at them, sitting back on his bottom with bare hairless legs spread wide. He sucked his thumb and stared at them hopefully.
“I think he wants the blocks out of it,” Brian suggested.
“So how is that our problem?” Rachel asked callously.
“Let’s just do it so he’ll go away,” Brian told her.
