Family Values

I was standing in the back of a crowded bus going into the center of the city. We reached a stop and a gypsy family got on.

There was the father, followed by an extremely pregnant wife carrying a young toddler.

The buses in Belgrade have single seats that are reserved for the elderly/handicapped/women with little kids. One man sitting in one these seats, upon seeing the pregnant woman, courteously stood up and offered his place.

Only, instead of the woman and child, the father actually sat down, leaving his pregnant wife standing and still holding their toddler. They rode the entire way into the center like that.
