Poor Little Girl!

When stopped at a light in Mexico, it's normal for someone to be at the front of the line of the cars juggling, blowing fire, selling trinkets or snacks, doing a clown act, standing on their head, or a guy will come up with a squeegee (what Bernard Walton on AIO washes windows with!) and start washing your windshield. ...anything to get a couple of pesos.
Well, the other day my parents were driving down the street and came to a red light. So they stopped...waiting for the light to change when they saw this little girl walking to each car, asking if they wanted her to clean their side mirrors!! The guy in front of my parents told the girl no, but my dad immediately started digging for some change. So the little girl came up and wiped down the mirrors, real slowly with her dirty little rag. It's kind of heartbreaking, but cute at the same time. Also...SO dangerous!! She could get ran over so easily... :(
This is one of those time where we're scrambling for the camera...




This is the girl's little brother sitting in the divider between the road.
