Henry's Latest Con

So Henry has a new bit that he's been perfecting. The last couple of days when we go for a walk in the neighborhood, he walks up to a stranger who is chewing gum. He looks up at them, screws up his face, points at their mouth and asks like some pushy toddler detective, "You. You have gum?"

The person is always a little taken aback, but then pulls it together and says, "Yes. Yes I do." Then Henry lowers the boom. "You give me gum." Almost every person begins to reach into their pocket to offer him gum until I step in.

At first, I really could not believe he was doing this.

And then I could.

Pure unadulterated moxie.
