The Boy: Did you know some freight trains carry passengers?

Me: Yes. Those people are called hobos.

The Boy: Are they real?

Me: Yes. They live on trains. And eat beans from a can. And they have all their clothes in a red bandana tied to a stick.

The boy's eyes light up.

The Boy: I want to be a hobo when I grow up!

Me: You don't like beans.

The Boy: Oh yeah.
