Can I play out in the rain?

9YO: Can I go play outside? Like out front.

Me: Wouldn't you rather play out back?

9YO: Why do you want me to go in back?

Me: I'm afraid someone might steal you.

9YO: Why? No one would want to steal me. Anyways, probably the only people out right now are hobos. And I don't think they'd want to take me.

Yes, this is an actual conversation with my nine year old.

What is the deal with HOBO's? My kids talk about hobo's all the time. "Well it is not like I am going to grow up and be a hobo" "does a hobo have to brush his teeth" (all hobo's are boys btw)......"where does a hobo go to the bathroom?"
