There the younger child saw her friend's house was in disrepair, that the outside door was battered and punctured by what she thought were bullet holes. At school the next day she told friends about the house and the broken door. The older girl, insulted and hurt, fired back that at least her mother had a house and wasn't so poor she had to live with a man to gain a roof over...
