Poor, poor Dominic

"Hi, madame. What is your name?"

"My name is Mommy. What is your name?"

"Dominic. I'm just a poor, poor kid with no family.

I have no toys or clothes. Nobody to read me stories or play with me."

"Oh, I'm so sorry!"

"Yea. I'm just very poor with nobody to love me."

Since I just spent the last hour reading to them I'm not feeling guilty. =)

But I do have to wonder why he equates poor people with being lonely.
