Someone With A Worse Job Than You

 

I remember a time in college when it was over 50 degrees below zero with the wind chill and we were driving around the home town before Christmas. On the street we say this skinny little girl in a flea costume with a sign outside of her parent's dollar and liquidation and flea market store. We stopped to tell her to go inside because NO ONE was outside in that weather, especially in a tiny flea costume. She was totally covered and had mittens on but the material was not sufficient to hold back the chilling cold. This was death zone cold. You had minutes to get warm without proper clothing. She told us she had to stay outside until people came into the store. We took her inside and looked for the Dad to give him shit but we didn't bother. We figured he would take it out on her and make her go out without her flea antennae, the only part that looked warm on that costume. So we bought stuff and before we left the OTHER child came outside with us in HER flea costume to do her part keeping the family business going.
