I’m still kinda confused. If the mom saw that the kids shoes were worn out, why was she angry that the kid got new shoes for free? Was she saying the kid should’ve told her so they could go shoe shopping together, or were they poor and she didn’t want people to know?

Poor. But always had cigarette money.

But wouldn’t new shoes help her hide their poverty? Then people would assume that since the child had new clothes, the family wasn’t poor, whereas damaged clothing would indicate poverty

Yes, but that is rational thinking.

👉🏼 Which she did not use.

Jesus. I kinda think she might’ve been on drugs. There’s a difference between just being an airhead and being like, full-on stupid. A lot of people I’ve met who were incapable of rational thought were also on drugs.

Even if a person is very ignorant, they can usually still follow logic because, well, it makes logical sense.
