Some have long, unwashed dreadlocks, and others’ heads are shaven. Their arms are tattooed, their lips and eyebrows are pierced, and their faces are sunburned and craggy from living on the streets. They hang out at busy intersections, often at entrances or exits to the highway, and when the traffic light turns red, they rush the cars, using their squeegees to clean the windshields—even when they are perfectly clean. I have seen drivers try to wave squeegee kids away, but most drivers lower their windows just enough to hand over a buck or two. “It’s extortion,” my dad says. Mom is more sympathetic. The company she works for raises funds to help street kids, so Mom has visited some of the local homeless shelters. “I just hope those poor kids have some place to sleep tonight,” my mom will say. “And what about their parents? Imagine having a child who lives on the street.” Then she’ll lower her window and give them some money and the address of the closest shelter.
