Read his story: "What's it like to be homeless?" he is asked.
"It sucks. It's so boring, just sitting here."
"It's not that bad," says his mother, Maria Diamond. "And you got an A on your report card in math the other day."
"It wasn't an A. It was an F dressed in a cape."
"No, it was an A. You work hard in school. And it's not that bad here."
"It's bad."
"You get to watch a television."
"Which I stole."
"No you didn't. And you get to watch movie DVDs."
"Which I stole."
"And you get to eat whenever you want."
"Because I cut in front of people in the line."
"And you get candy here at Inter-Faith, candy and pop."
"Which I steal."
"You didn't steal anything. You never do bad things. Why do you say these things?
"Because I'm BORED. When I grow up I want to be a couch."
"Why a couch?"
"Because a couch just lies around all day. If I was a couch I could lie around and watch football."
