Hobo Home

Before you send fiery e-mails about the word Hobo, let me explain. I understand that Hobo is politically incorrect, and we now use homeless, but children are not hip to political correctness. While visiting my bro-in-law and his family in the South, my daughter, neice and nephew were playing a game they called "Hobo home." They had placed several cardboard boxes and some nylon cubes on the front lawn as their home. The following conversation was overheard:
Neice: You better not..." acting as Hobo mom and shaking her finger at her brother.
Nephew: "You're not being a very good mom. You're not even being a good Hobo mom."

It seems that familial conflicts happen despite socio-economic class.
