conversation with ziggy

we were in the car tonight and listening to a report on the radio about homeless people in the suburbs.

ziggy: mommy, what are they talking about?
me: they're talking about how some people don't have a home to go to, it's very sad.
ziggy: oh, i'm going to kiss them. will they feel better?

he repeated the last phrase a few times and i couldn't believe how sad and concerned ziggy was after i told him that. or that at age 2 kids could even understand what it means to be homeless. :(
